Alvin worked at Dow Chemical Company for over 25 years and retired as a project coordinator. In addition to all his hard work and dedication to his job, he also served on various boards and spent countless hours investing in the youth through sports. Many knew him as Coach Bartek whether it was through Babe Ruth Baseball, Lake Jackson Girl's Softball or Lake Jackson Little League. He not only coached but served as president of several boards throughout the years such as President of the Babe Ruth league for over 10 years and was honored when he was inducted into the Babe Ruth Baseball Hall of Fame as well as when the Southern Brazoria County Babe Ruth Association named a baseball field after him. He served as Brazoswood Softball booster club president and was instrumental in the design and building of the Lady Bucs softball field.

Alvin was a member of New Beginnings Community Church where he taught the youth for many years and enjoyed working both Walk to Emmaus and Kairos Prison Ministry. He was a wonderful husband, father, mentor and friend. He was a role model for many and lived a life full of love and service to others. This community and world is a better place because of him and we can all rest in knowing he has been called home to his loving Savior and reunited with his son and other loved ones. Well done, good and faithful servant.
