Alvin Lavern Glore

Alvin Lavern Glore, age 70 formerly of Paducah, Kentucky passed away peacefully, Tuesday, April 2nd, 2024, at 8:46 am at Carle Methodist Hospital in Peoria, Illinois. Alvin was the son of the late Theodore Malcolm Glore Jr. and Mary Elizabeth Glore. He was a 1972 graduate of Paducah Tilghman High School and moved to Peoria, Illinois in 1976. Alvin was a faithful member of 6th Street Baptist, church in Paducah and later helped to form an R&B Band called The Brotherhood of Soul. He was an outstanding musician and percussionist and played the drums, his favorite instrument. During his career, he was employed by the Peoria public school system as a school bus operator for District 150 and as a stocker and warehouse associate at Circle K. For the latter part of his life, he was employed twenty-five years at Walmart as a cashier/sales associate and was affectionately recognized by people everywhere he went as ‘Mr. Walmart”. Throughout his employment, he performed as a resolute and outstanding worker, and hardly ever turned down overtime. Alvin was known for his exceptional cooking skills and was often requested to bring special dishes to family gatherings during the holidays. He loved old-school music, and his quick wit, comedic behavior, and dancing skills often made him the life of the party. His favorite dances were the running man and the stanky leg. Alvin is survived by one child, his daughter Sharde Glore, and one granddaughter named Winter. He was preceded in death by his older sister Theodora G. Batemon and is survived by his stepmother, Corine A. Glore, brothers, Henry L. Glore and wife Patrice, Theodore M. Glore III and wife Pamela, William H. Glore, and wife Carmen, Robert A. Glore and wife Tanya, Gregory P. Glore and wife Lori, and sisters Darraugh C. Butler, Christina G. Collins and husband Gregory, Jalyn E. Glore, numerous nieces, nephews, extended family, and friends. The family will receive those who knew Alvin from 3:30 pm to 8:30 pm for a celebration of life program to include dinner. The gathering will take place on Saturday, April 13th, 2024 at the Peoria Police Benevolent Center located at 3701 South Airport Rd. Bartonville, Illinois. The family of our beloved Alvin would like to express our thanks for the wonderful help, comfort, and care given by the Carle Methodist Hospital Staff. We would also like to express our genuine thanks to family and friends for their prayers and contributions.
