Charles Poole Jr.

Alvin was born February 11, 1946, in King City, CA to Charles Poole and Helen (Rist) Poole. He went by "Alvin" while his father was referred to as Charles. He passed away on August 6, 2026, in Kaweah Hospital, Visalia due to complications from an infection. His niece Janet and her partner Ruth were at his side.

Alvin graduated from King City High School and went to Hartnell College. He drove semi-trucks his whole adult life. He owned his own trucking business and co-owned a trailer hauling company: Alvin Poole Trucking and E&A Trailers. He hauled sugar beets until they were replaced by sugar cane, then he retired.

Alvin never married, but his niece was like a daughter to him. He had a very full life of love for his family. His parents, his sister, his niece and he were incredibly close. He lived most of his life in King City until his parents passed and then he moved to the areas his sister and her husband lived in.

Alvin was a kind and generous man. He lived a quiet life. He loved to collect coins, go to coin shows and meet up with his coin club. He enjoyed spending time on his computer researching coins, watching videos and talking to friends.

Alvin is survived by his niece Janet Hall and his brother-in-law Rick Munroe. He was preceded in death by his parents and his sister Sharon.
