Alver was one of the nicest people I have ever met. We were raised on Carver Road and he and my brother Reggie were really good friends. He was always so polite and courteous to me and my family. I would see him from time to time out and about and he was still the same. Through the years he had not changed his demeanor. He will be missed. My Prayers go out to his family and all those affected by his death. Gone Too Soon! Trish Alcorn Hairston
