He spent many years serving his community with the Clinton Police Department, working his way up to Chief of Police, retiring in 1997. He had a passion for the citizens of Clinton and founded the "Clinton Police Club" which he was extremely proud of. Alton enjoyed life, cherished his family and friends and will be greatly missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing him.
