They retired in 1997 and moved back to their home state of South Dakota to be closer to their first grandson that would be born in November. After retirement, Alvin enjoyed taking care of the yard, planting a big garden, tinkering in the shop and spending time with his grandsons. Preceding him in death were his parents, Frank Jr and Katheryn. Brothers Norbert, Laverne and Dan Steiner. Three sisters, Lorraine Waletich, Coletta Aldentaler and Ruth Pruitt.
