Wow, two years. Alton was my brother-in-law for many years. He always had a smile on his face, made you feel good about yourself, etc. He was a ride-or-die brother-in-law. I am getting teary eyed thinking about how his presence impacted my life. My husband would always look forward to seeing Big Al when we visited family in Shreveport. Alton will live on with all nine of his grandchildren. Alton will be my brother forever. I pray that the entire Jefferson family find peace during this time of year.

Wow, It has been 2 years since your passing, just seems like yesterday since you left us. Alton and I shared so many child hood memories together. We started playing basketball together at Ingersoll Elementary School. We were in the 5th grade then. We went on to play together at J.S.Clark and Booker T. Washington High. We had some great times back then. He was a helluva basketball player and even a better person. I am looking at our High School Basketball Team picture now as I am writing this message. I just regret that I did not get to see him when we became adults and I do not know any of his kids. Rest on my friend. Much Love.

"My comfort in my suffering is this: Your promise preserves my life." Psalm 119:50. To the Jefferson family, May God Bless and Keep you in your time of bereavement. "Pup" was a pleasure and distinct honor in knowing you and learning some of the finer points of "hoop". Peace!

I am praying for all those he left behind. He was a great man. Always nice, funny, and tall as a mountain. I will miss "Big Alton" but I know he is in a better place. So sorry for his family's loss.

Alton (aka, "Big Al") was a kind, funny, happy, caring person, who loved his family. I've known him since I was in the 10th grade. He was one of the top basketball players in Shreveport, LA. He was the "best man"at my wedding. He had a smile would light up any room. He will be missed and remembered, always. I wish he were here, but I feel good knowing that there is another angel in heaven watching over us. He will always be "my brother" forever. I'm praying for his wife and family during this difficult time.
