We will miss u..
Hello Joan.
So sorry to hear about Alonzo.
I have fond memories of your family.
Keeping you in prayer.

Alonzo didn't say a whole lot but he was VERY observant. When I was on his crew in Oregon, I noticed one of our survey truck tires was in need of replacement. When I mentioned it to him, he said, "yes I have a new tire waiting at the service station for the left front of your truck". He only had about 50 trucks on the crew at the time! He always treated me well and never criticized how we did our job as long as it got done correctly and in a timely manner. (yes, he knew the surveyors would occasionally go to breakfast on the way to the field......) Quite simply, he was just a good man and was great to work for. I will miss seeing him and Jo around town.
We are truly sorry for your loss. - Jean Ann & Jim Kariker
I worked for Alonzo in the late 70s and again in the late 80s. It was a time full of adventure for me and I appreciate Alonzo letting me work for him in spite of my youthful indiscretions.In Kemmerer in the winter of 78-79 I was the 1st to wreck a company truck. Carl Baker had me panicking that my time with the crew was over. I expected a good chewing out from Alonzo but instead he was very quiet he looked over the truck and listened to the circumstances of the accident and shrugged it off. I had no more vehicle accidents during that job but when it was over Carl and I spent days changing out doors and quarter panels because every vehicle in the field had been wrecked. Back then I had a slightly volatile temper but Alonzo could keep me calm because of his goodness and wisdom.There were times that Alonso's goodness really made me feel ashamed of myself. Alonzo is one of the best examples of a family man I ever knew and he had s wonderful family to show for his efforts. My prayers go out to the family and hope you can find comfort in good memories in the coming days.
My love to Alonzo and family,
Tom Hough.
