He is survived by his wife of 58 years Arline; his sister Virginia; his two brothers, Harry and Raymond; his four sons: Alvin M., Mark V., Ross E., and Brian R.; 13 grandchildren and 18 great-grandchildren. Born on June 25, 1926 in Ocean City, he is predeceased by his parents Martha (CLemenson) and Harry M. Shourds, his infant daughter, and best friend Bob Mansi. He became a hunter and fisherman on the island while it still had woods and dirt roads. He became an artist and wood carver like his father and grandfather. At the age of 16, he served as an American soldier during WWII, fighting for freedom Throughout his life he volunteered his time for many causes, including many years as a leader in Christian Service Brigade and 25 years of service on the Upper Township Volunteer Rescue Squad. He went on several mission trips to Guatamaula with Harvey Hawn and grandson Lucas. A committed, hard-working man with powerful hands and strong values, who was honest, and spoke the truth, even when it was unpopular. A man who stood firm, even when he stood alone. He lived his first 86 years here, on earth, in his earthly body and will be missed by many friends and family including cousins George Loder and Lou Strouse. Today Alvin’s life continues, in a perfect and glorified body, as it will forever. “But God is constantly providing His own love to us, seeing to it that even while we were sinners, Christ died in our behalf. But much more than this…that now having been justified by His blood, we may be saved from the wrath. But yet even much more…That God would reconcile ourselves to Himself through the death of his own Son in order to save us from death by the life He possesses.” Romans 5:8-10. A memorial service at the Nazarene Church in Port Elizabeth, NJ on Route 47 will be held on April 20, 2013 at 3 PM.
