In 1954, they left Cullman and moved to Miami where Alvie started working on a farm where he grew a variety of fruits and vegetables. Having never married, after his father passed, he spent most of his time caring for his mother and worked at a cabinet shop where he retired. After the passing of his mother, he lived out his life with his sister, Shirley Duval and brother, William R. Powell, Jr. Alvie was very passionate of spending time with his family, whether it was going for car or buggie rides or just simply hanging out on the porch with a cup of 90 weight.
