This was posted on the Centex site, I am sure most of you have already seen it. But just in case you haven't, I just had to share it.
Alton will long be remembered by alot of us, this is from another person that just shows how special he was.
Miss ya Alton,
Here is the post:

I attended Grizzlebear's funeral in early February as a family friend, not as a PGR Rider. (I'm now living in New Mexico.)
You probably remember what a horrible day it was – rain, cold.
Alton introduced me to the PGR and we rode from Austin on quite a few missions together. Whenever I rode on a mission and he was unable to, he always asked me for all the details as soon as we got together.
I believe that there were tears in his eyes when he saw the fantastic PGR participation that came to honor him at his funeral. I know there were tears in mine.
Thank you so much to each of you who rode/drove that day. It was a wonderful moment.
I will miss Alton for the rest of my life. But when I remember him, it will be in conjunction with the PGR and our rides together.
WHAT A WONDERFUL GROUP!!! Thank you one and all.
