Alvin G Medvin

Al (Alvin) Medvin entered this world on September 7, 1934 in Chicago, Illinois as the first son to Ben and Clara Medivin. His brother Harvey arrived almost to the date, two years later. They grew up in Austin, a West Side neighborhood in Chicago. Al attended Austin High School and then the University of Illinois. He remained a fan of the fighting Illini throughout his life. After college graduation, Al enrolled in the University of Illinois School of Dentistry where he prepared himself for his future career and met his future wife, Deborah Rattner Medvin. Upon Dental School graduation, Al had to fulfill his duty to the Country so he went to Gunter Air Force base in Alabama. A short while later he got assigned to Travis Air Force Base in Vacaville, CA. Al and Debbie married on July 5th, 1959, and the two set off for their new life in California where they raised 2 daughters, Janice and Melissa, who are his pride and joy, along with grandsons Aaron and Noah.

Al practiced dentistry in Concord, CA for 30 years. Upon retirement, he learned to play golf and enjoyed the game and camaraderie found at Round Hill Country Club. He will be missed by his loving wife Debbie, Daughters Janice Medvin-Rob Tobias, Melissa Medvin-Jeff Flancer, and grandsons Aaron and Noah Leavelle.
