ALVIN “AL” LAWRENCE HOLLAND – HERMON
Alvin “Al” Lawrence Holland died peacefully on April 5, 2023 at his home in Hermon. He was born January 17, 1936 in Steuben, the son of Lee and Doris (Leighton) Holland.
Alvin was 1 of 12 graduates from the Cherryfield Academy, Class of 1955. After graduation, Alvin worked locally until he enlisted in the US Army in 1959.

Alvin worked various construction jobs after his discharge from the Army, most notably Cianbro Corporation from 1976-1988 and Lou Silver from 1988-2015.
Alvin was very independent and loved to be on the go. Even after retirement, he was very active and loved being with his grandchildren, constantly building memories and providing a home away from home for them all.
