Alonzo, as he was so fondly known by his family and friends was a loving husband, brother, Dad and grandfather. He was kind, caring and never met a stranger and these qualities yielded him many friends. Yes, he shall be greatly missed by his family, many friends and all whose lives he touched during the 73 years that God granted him on this earth; but there is a consolation in knowing that life does not end with death for a Christian because the gift of God is eternal life, and he has just gone to receive his reward at his new Heavenly home with no more pain or sorrow. A service celebrating his life and home going will be held on Wednesday, May 25, 2011 at 3:00 PM in the Chapel of Napier Funeral Home with Rev. Cecil Goff and Rev. John Watts officiating.
