Thank you dad for everything that you did for us. You always put yourself second before anyone else. I will always cherish the memories that we had together. You always wanted what was best for us. You are a great example to all of us and I strive to be like you. You will be greatly missed. I love you dad.
Mr. Alvear did a great deal of work on my home a few years ago. He was so dependable, so honest, so knowledgable, a pleasure to work with. My sympathy goes out to his parents, his wife and children and all who loved him. May God be very near to them and give them comfort and strength.

We have lost a wonderful friend. Not only did good a lot work for us but was always ready to help on personal non construction work
God bless the Alvear Family
We are so saddened to hear of the passing of our wonderful friend, Armando “Mando” Alvear. We pray for strength and peace for his family and ask our Lord to keep them safe and, and may Mando rest in the arms of Jesus Christ.
Mi comandante te nos fuiste muy pronto se te va extrañar pero ya estas en un lugar mejor me kedo con los buenos jestos me tuviste conmigo grasias por todo armando mi amigo
We were shocked to learn of Mando’s passing. We’ve worked together on a number of projects and he always had a smile on his face as well as a very positive attitude even when he was faced with difficult situations. He was almost like a son to me. Sorry but it is hard for me to swallow what just happened to Mando. …Mando, you will always be in my heart, because in there your still alive.
Elizabeth, Mando Jr, Eddie, What a painful loss, kindly accept my sympathy over the passing of your husband and father. Our heart, soul and prayers go out to you. Indeed it’s a tough time, but this too shall pass. He will forever be missed by all who have ever known him.

Armando was a great friend, I considered him my best friend. I knew him for over 30 and in those 30 plus years he stood by my side even when I was not the best person to be around. He never allowed me to feel less of a person because of the bad choices I had made. I miss those telephone conversations. I pray that his family can find comfort in knowing that he was loved by everyone who knew him. Mando was very proud of his children he would speak very highly of both of his boys, my prayers to both of them. You will be missed my brother.

Mr Alvear was a Wonderful human being. We were introduced to him a couple of years ago to do some much needed repairs to our home. He soon became like a member of the family. We could call him for any problem and he always knew the right person for the job. I always told him I wished I had met him when we first moved to the valley so he could have built our home. I will always remember his laughter and jokes. We are shocked and saddened at his sudden death. Our prayers are with you. We will unfortunately be overseas on the day of the service we will definitely be in touch when we return to pay our respects. May his soul Rest In Peace. He will be missed by a lot of people. God bless all of you. Our deepest condolences. Adeline and Danilo Asase and the family.

Mi mas sentido pesame a toda la familia. Yo trabaje para Armando casi un año. Y antes de ser un buen jefe fue un gran amigo con todos. Siempre preocupado por nosotros que trabajabamos con el. Ami me ayudo desde el primer dia que lo encontre y me dio trabajo, yo estaba recien llegado a esta Ciudad el me echo la mano y siempre estare agradecido y nunca me canse de agradecerselo siempre que tenia la oportunidad le decia lo agradecido que estaba yo con el
Que Dios les de pronta resignacion a la familia.
Y lo vamos a extrañar siempre JEFASO.
Rest in peace Padrino ❤

We got to know Armando, over the years, while he and his crew took on our many projects. He started as our contractor but became our very good friend. The world seems less bright; he will be so missed by us.
Our hearts go out to Elizabeth and all of Armando’s family.

Mi más sentido pésame para toda la familia es muy lamentable por lo que están pasando que Díos les de las fuerzas y resignacion.
Tio Armando , you left unexpectedly too soon and words can not explain the pain that everyone is going thru. You will always be forever in our memories . You were a hard working person whom always gave the best to his children and made everyone in the family laugh when we would all get together at grandmas . It won’t be the same anymore without you . May you rest peacefully and watch over your loved ones whom miss you very much.
Love your Niece
Stacey Alvear
I could go on forever about Armando but after reading all of the other condolences I’ll just say that we are all better people for knowing him. Take comfort in the memories and especially his good name that he leaves you.
He’ll live forever in my heart.

Our sincerest condolences to the Alvear Family, the few times i spoke with Mr. Alvear he was filled with happiness and zest for life. I could tell he loved his family very much, was hard working and a dedicated man! May peace and love live in all the hearts he touched.
It’s 3:08 am and I just finished writing the eulogy for what’s going to be the most difficult day of my life. Give me the strength to deliver it later on today, and I hope you get a kick out of it. You will forever be missed by many and never forgotten. I love you so much, dad. Thanks for everything. I can’t even imagine the house you’ll have for us in heaven!
With so much love,
Eddie Alvear
