Alvin J. Myers, 87, of Monroeville passed away early Thursday morning, July 7, 2016 at his residence following a brief illness.

He was born on December 24, 1928 in the same house in Monroeville that he passed in.  Alvin was a lifelong dedicated farmer, school bus driver and drove truck for Pat Riley and Scheid Trucking prior to his retirement.  He had also served as a Sherman Township Trustee for 18 years, where he was involved with the fire department before the Huron River Fire District was formed. Alvin was instrumental in forming the Huron River Joint Fire District in 1986 and served as President for many years. He also worked hard getting the new fire station built and was always proud and supportive of the fire district. 

He was a member of St. Joseph Catholic Church, Knights of Columbus, Holy Name Society, Bellevue Eagles, Moose Lodge, American Legion in Norwalk and the Huron County Farm Bureau. Alvin loved spending time with his family and enjoyed friends stopping over for a drink with him.
