ONESCHUK: In loving memory of our dear husband and father. Alvin.

We do not need a special day.

To bring you to our mind;

For the days we do not think of you,

Are very hard to find.

If all this world were ours to give,

We'd give it, yes and more;

To see the face of our Alvin dear,

Come smiling through the door.

-Sadly missed and forever remembered by wife Barbara and daughter Chrissy.
