Alvin, affectionately known as "Sweet Man or Sweets", was born special and was not expected to live with so many challenges to face. His determination to live inspired us all to do the best with the least, going through many, over 20 surgeries as a child to repair his legs. He stood on his legs at his graduation from Roger's High School., He played the trumpet, some football and engaged in life to the fullest. Alvin was always on the go. He loved family cookouts, good food and to try new recipes and restaurants. Living by the wise words given to him " There's no substitute for class". Alvin "Sweets", was a wonder in the kitchen as well. From baking cheesecakes or making a good chili on a low simmer was his specialty!

Alvin loved his children and he was also involved in Social Services too. He mentored youth and taught them work skills and he was encouraging them to be active in sports to keep them busy. He funded many ice cream trips with his nieces and young cousins as well as a lot of High School basketball games and his other interest included video games , movies, fishing, traveling, fashion and especially laughing. We will all miss his smile, his work , his wit and warm charm.

Alvin was preceded in death by his father, Alvin V. Love Sr. and mother, Amie Marie Smith Love.

He is survived by first cousins; Holly Love, Mr. and Mrs. Rick Love, Christopher Love, Ciara Harper, Verleasa Files, Kevin Gilmore Jr. and a host of little ones, relatives and special friends.
