I am Juanita Skinner (Weiss). I am Alvin E Kurtz's first cousin on my father's side. I personally never met my cousin Alvin, but I did grow up with his sisters Delrose, Bernadine, Grace, Diane, and Laura, and brothers Gordy and George to name a few. I heard a lot about him from them and my Aunt Mildred, Alvin's mother. My mom always said Alvin was a very out-going young man who loved his family and his country. Alvin was taken from us way too early in his young life. We all miss you, Alvin, and will always remember the good things about you. I have a few pictures of Alvin and will have them posted as soon as I can get them scanned. I am honored to add this memorial to "The Virtual Wall" for all to see and honor.
