A local electrician and I were reminiscing about North Arkansas Electric and their "Staking Technicians". We both agreed that Alvin was the "best of the best" regarding his ability to make NAEC customers comfortable. Dealing with him was always a pleasure. It almost made us look forward to the next time we needed help from NAEC...just to see Alvin.

Alvin's passing makes my heart hurt. I worked at NAEC in engineering for three summers in the late 80s. Alvin was the most gentle of souls. . . . with a wonderful giggle which washed over his entire body! It was contagious!!! My prayers for his family and friends.
