With an innovative career that spanned 70 years in the packaging industry Alvin owned and operated four paper box companies and a paper mill.
Alvin participated in numerous industry trade associations and was a fixture in trade shows in the US and Europe.
Alvin took up skiing in the late 1940’s and was a passionate skier for the rest of his life. Waterville Valley, New Hampshire became his second home and he was active in the WVBBTS ski and snowboard program in addition to being one of the founding directors of the Waterville Adaptive Program in 1992. Alvin helped with races on the World Cup trail and spent years sharing his enjoyment of skiing and the outdoors with family and friends. Always ready to ski the mountain by 8 AM, there was simply no trail to steep or fresh powder too deep to keep Alvin off the slopes.
Alvin was a blessing to his friends and family and loved spending time with them.
