Alva married Beatrice "Betty" Mae Price and they had a daughter in 1948.

Alva shared with Niece Bertie Keehner that he felt so foolish when he thought back about evacuating the ship at Pearl Harbor. He took his shoes off so he would be able to swim, but had routinely set his shoes on the shelf where they were required to be near his bunk when he wasn't wearing them. His Niece Carol Brown shared Uncle Al was injured as he was swimming out a bombed hole in the U.S.S. Oklahoma. It ripped his stomach and eventually the scar tissue from that wound caused his death in 1997.
