A Scripture to remember him by is James 5:7-8 “Be patient, then, brothers and sisters, until the Lord’s coming. See how the farmer waits for the land to yield its valuable crop, patiently waiting for the autumn and spring rains.  You too, be patient and stand firm, because the Lord’s coming is near.”

Alvin is survived by his wife, Virginia Boone Herbin; his son, Michael “Mike” Alvin  Herbin and wife, Angela, of Gibsonville;  daughter, Janet Herbin Fogleman and husband, Bryan of Elon; grandchildren: Sarah Fogleman Stack and husband, David, Rebecca Fogleman Winn and husband, Jack, Amanda Herbin Hedden and husband, Alex, and James Michael Herbin and wife, Kaitlyn; great grandchild, Benjamin Miles Winn; two sisters: Becky Dixon and husband, Jimmy, and Patty Herbin; and many nieces and nephews.
