Alva had many hobbies and interests. He loved hunting and fishing and almost anything outdoors. He could often be seen riding his bicycle or running. He enjoyed the social aspects that came with camping, riding pontoon, traveling, and “driving mom’s golf cart”; basically, anything that involved mingling with people.
