Alphonso (Bear) was one of my closest and best childhood friends. We went to school (Mt Olive H.S.) together, was in the Boy scouts together, in the band together and I could go on and on. He was a good trusted friend. He would do anything he could for you. I could still see that Green GMC pickup he had in High school comming by my house to pick me up. May you Rest in peace my good friend. May God bless your family.
