To Kenny & Sharon and all of Altus' many friends in Oklahoma, I send my condolences upon hearing of Altus' death. My husband and I visited Altus when he was almost 100. He was such a special person and he and Lenora were a great encouragement to me when I lived in Stroud as a young bride. He will be sorely missed by all who knew him. I did not know he had passed until by brother-in-law, Stan Paregien sent me Altus' obituary just today 07-28-2014.
