We lost a great friend the other day. He always had a zest for life. He was kind, thoughtful and enjoyed life to the fullest. I know everyone who knew Alvin is sad that he left this world, but also are glad his suffering is over. We know he will be looking down and guiding us. Our sincere condolences to Bernice, Cindy, Kathy, Mark and Roger and families. We know the memories will keep you strong and put that little smile that he left with everyone in your hearts. We will miss you terribly. RIP Alvin.

I was extremely sad to hear of Alvin's passing. What a great man. Always so kind and happy. I fondly remember my time spent with Mark at the Barenthsen home by the lake and trips to the farm with Alvin. My sincere condolences to Bernice and the entire Barenthsen clan.

We are so sorry about uncle Alvin's passing. He had a good life. He was a very good man, loving and caring for his family. It was a privilege to know him.

Alvin was a good neighbor to me as I was growing up, and taught me some work ethics when I helped him on the farm. We stayed in touch with Alvin and Bernice when visiting Powers Lake and once in their home in Mesa. He was a great man and great friend and will be missed by many. Our sympathy to Bernice, Cindy, Mark, Kathy, and Roger and their families.
