My Daddy, Joseph V. McAlister died on April 22nd 2014, When he died a part of me went with him. I love and miss him so much. I miss his jokes and and his funny sense of humor. He was a very handsome man. He loved to walk all over down town and ride the boat accross the river. I will never forget those great big blue eyes piercing down at me. He will be in my heart forever and there will not be a day go by that I want think about him. I miss you so much daddy and will love you forever my sweet daddy. I can not wait till we meet again!!!!

I am so sorry that I couldn't find out how to contact you dearest RedHawk after you left your home on New Mexico St and apparently had no way to get on the internet. I continued searching for you periodically and just found your obituary today. You and I stood by one another always for all the years we knew one another. You were not only a dear friend but my brother. I love you with all my heart and soul and you will live in my heart forever.
With deep sadness in my heart,
Lone Eagle Eye ~~~^~~~

I can not sleep tonight
It is not from fright
But from a broken heart I cry
My loved one is in heaven now
Oh how I long to be by his side
One day I will see him again
He is not lonely now
He has Jesus as his friend
