Altie had a genuine kindness, an infectious smile and laughter and was a humble person. We met at Sharpstown Dodge in Houston and was invited over to his home, where I met his family and newborn baby. Altie was a beacon of positivity even through the time with the Oilers, I am saddened to learn of your fate, but will carry your spirit always, and glad to know you are now one of GOD's RB. Rest in Peace, Hermano!

Dear Taylor's:
Your dad was our hero in the old Detroit neighborhood. Coolest guy we ever knew. Had the neighbor kids over a lot when he really didn't have too (including me). I'm sure we bugged the heck out of him but he never said no. I'll never forget him and have his rookie card in my living room.
Very sorry Altie has passed.
Take good care

(You spoke softly, but carried a “Big Stick”). It was a...
