So very sorry to see this. I am praying for deepest comfort for every one, esepecially Mrs. Altizer. What good memories of him smiling and teasing us kids every time. I always felt seen by him and Mrs. Cookie.

Pastor Guy and I traveled to several countries on construction teams to help pastors. I owe my introduction to Cuba and Pastor Boris Sarlabous to him. He and Cookie were a great team and I'm looking forward to eternity where we will know "The Rest of the Story" of the reach of our spreading the gospel on earth. Our prayers are with the family.

To the Altizer family, I am so sorry for the loss of Pastor Altizer. So many special memories of all of us from Southside Baptist Church and Christian School. Such a wonderful family and your dad was such a special man. I remember him working so hard during his school days at Bob Jones and the late hours he would work at the church. So thankful he is at peace now and in the arms of his Savior. May God be with you all as you walk through your time of grief.
