I am going to miss Uncle Howard very much. I know he is in a beautiful place now. He was always a clown that turned my frown upside down. I know the pain of losing a father. I lost mine twice and life just isn't the same with your loved ones missing from it. If there is anything I can do for ya'll just let me know.

Mary, Pam, Kelli, Shawn, Derrick, Tyler, & Macie,
What can I say about my wonderful brother. I know he was one of a kind when we were young. When God made Howard he broke the mold. The memories we all have of him will comfort us for years to come. I know we will never stop missing him and needing him in some way.
I have already needed to call him and ask him something. God only knows how much we all are going to miss him. Mary, I want you to know how much we love you for...

Spicer Family,
My thoughts and prayers are with you all. I traveled from Texas and visited the church many times. I remember Howard as a kind and gentle man who truly cared about those around him. I loved his brunswick stew. I am especially thankful to him for his love and support to my family...Brian, Tammy, Taylor, Kim, Andy and Adam. He was like a grandfather to my grandchildren and a great support to my children. He will be missed but with so many loving memories by all whose lives he...
