Altizer.
He is survived by his wife of 55 years, Patricia Hale
Altizer; and two sons, Jay Allen and Amy Altizer of Dallas TX and grandchildren

celebration of life for friends, neighbors and Floyd United Methodist church
family will be held. In lieu of flowers, please consider donations to Floyd
United Methodist Church.
