Obituary

On April 21, 1940 while living in Coyle, Oklahoma Claude David Walton and Maudie Higgins-Walton, brought a son into the world and named him, Alonzo David. In his early years, his father moved the family to Green Pasture, where he attended school. He survived grade and junior high with Mr. A.M. Tompkins. During his high school years, he proudly let the band to many victories as Drum-major. Mrs. Smith would not accept anything short of being perfect; people at parades, would wait for the appearance of that "Dungee Band". Free to do his thing, and with the band marching perfectly behind him, Alonzo led the "Almighty Tigers", stepping high, twirling his piton and smiling at the crowd he loved "Dear Ole Dunjee". He once served as Co-chairperson for The All-School Reunion. He married the love of his life, Shirley Virgina Orange, to this union three children were born. Later joined the U.S. Army and toured Korea. He adored vehicles with lots of wheels, he became a cross country truck driver, and later drove city and charter buses. He worked for the Spencer Police Dept. and was a guard in Minnesota for the Department of Corrections. He had the most joy while driving the bus for the Star-Spencer boosters club, than when he coached the little league teams. "I'VE HAD SOME GOOD DAYS, I'VE HAD SOME HILLS TO CLIMB I'VE HAD SOME WEARY DAYS AND SOME SLEEPLESS NIGHTS, WHEN I LOOK AROUND AND THINK THINGS OVER ALL OF MY GOOD DAYS, OUT WEIGH MY BAD DAYS- I WON'T COMPLAIN"
