I met Mr.Scaife back in the 80's. At Capital Plaza Bowling Lanes. He was a very quite man with alot of wisdom. Very soft spoken and suttle with his words. Kenyatta, Jermey,Dara and I grew up and became very close. I have so many years with Mr. Scaife He has seen me through both of my pregnancies and he was what we called a bowling alley father/brother/uncle. To lose someone so close to home is very hard. To Scaife family I would like to send my prayers and please call if you shall ever need anything.

To the Family,

I met Howard in 1993 @ ABF and he became a very important person in my life. He has helped me with scriptures as well as being the first of my co-workers to support me in my very first program at my church. He will be greatly missed. To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. God be with you.

I'll remember Howard by his smile -whether it's a Scaife trait, I don't know, but Howard always seem to be wearing that smile whenever I was in his presence. To Gladys and all of his Family, my hearfelt sympathy.

I pray I have the strength and the resilence you have. I love you very much! I am also happy that we have another angel to watch over all of us!
