    We will miss Mr. Alt every much, he was a very special man. Our kids thought of him as their church grandpa. He was always giving one of them candy. He also would share stories with us about WWII. And was always asking me(Scott) how work was, because he knew what is was like to have his own business. He and Bonnie has come out to our house years ago and gave the kids little gifts. And we also were invited to their house for dinner and they showed us their beautiful backyard that they were so proud of. Our daughter(now 13) still sleeps with the blanket that Bonnie knitted years ago for a baby gift to us. He will be missed greatly, but the peace we have that he is with Jesus and Bonnie fills our hearts with joy. Sincerely, Scott and Karla Stephens and family
