He was an awesome and caring person that made sure that things was taking care of..he made sure I received my packages...he looked out for the next person not looking for anything in return. He was a so for real person. He loved his grandkids...when I missed him he would say I was with my grandkids. I would say what a blessing. He'll be dearly missed. I know when he saw the Angels beckon for him even though he truly loved you'll he had to go. So weep if you must but not as one without hope because with the Lord you can cope...weeping may endure for a night but joy cometh in the morning!When you miss me just look up I will be smiling down on you!

Mr. Alton
You will truly be missed. My prayers are with your daughters and family members. I will miss your smiling face and that walk that could be spotted a mile away. God gives us the opportunity to pick some people as family and for that I am grateful you were one of my chosen family members. I looked forward to hearing you say "Now you and boss lady have a good day". Mr. Alton you wore a mean hat and always had on a fresh pair of sneakers. Take your rest, for it is well deserved King. Many may not know this but you were a gentle giant, had a heart of giving and took care of so many. See you on the other side my friend.
