Dr. Altman seems such a sweet man. Here is his appearance on a very funny episode of the Tonight Show:
One day Dr. Altman came home with a baby lion (I think it was in an online photo). It wasn't too strange as he always brought something new home. (BTW - I loved playing with Nino). I asked if I could take the cat for a walk! So we chained him up and out the front door we went. But he also had a great dane (I forget the name), a monster dog that jumped on the front door window just as we left the house. It scared the cat which then wrapped itself around my leg and took a bite out my thigh. Dr Altman saw all this from the window. If he were calm, I would have been OK. But he was worried I would drop the leash. Seeing his face, I was freaking out. He pried the cat off my leg and we laughed for hours. I still have the holes. It was such a fond memory that I can experience it just by closing my eyes. His passing made me remember hundreds of stories that all came flooding back. I'm so sorry I can't tell him how wonderful a man and friend he was to me back in Merrick. My heart goes out to the all the girls and especially to Lynn.
Thank you for all of the amazing memories. You were always the center of attention with your unique sense of humor. You’ve brought so much laughter, love and joy into our lives. Everyone always loved to be around you with your kind heart and generous soul. Your love for your grandchildren and family was unparalleled. You will never be forgotten. The memories will live on in our hearts forever. May you Rest In Peace. Love, Scott.
From the time I have known you, you’ve touched my heart with your charming personality. You have given me belly laughs that will last a lifetime. The next time we race, you won’t need your scooter! You have made an indelible impression on me. I’m very lucky to have had the time I did with you. You Rest In Peace now and go dance with the rest of the angels.
With love and affection, Lea❤️
