Alvin Hodes, known to us as Papa,
In 1953, Alvin married Elizabeth (Liz) Feibelman after a short courtship; their marriage lasted 57 years, until her death in 2010.
Alvin worked with his father in the hosiery business and was a partner in Jazzy Casuals, a women’s sportswear company. Outside of work, he enjoyed gardening, traveling, reading, family time and was active in the community.
These words were read at the funeral of 📝Elizabeth "Gran" Hodes that touched Alvin and were read again at his funeral, see: 📝When I Die.
