Howard Arthur Thacker Jr.

I just read about Howard (27 July) searching names of people I knew while on the internet. Very sorry to hear about Howard. We attended DTI at the same time,1962-1964, and we´re on the basketball team. This has brought a flood of memories because I had always wanted to see the people I was in school with and to talk about the past upto the present. Again, I am sorry to read this and that we had lost contact. Frank Brown,Mt.Sidney,Va. Formally from Lexington

Sherri, I am so sorry to hear about Howard. I have fun memories of Howard when we all lived in Wildwood. Deepest sympathy to you and Tara.

Sherri, I am sorry for your loss. Howard was always a character with something going on. We all shared many a laugh at Charley's. You will be in my thoughts and prayers in the coming days and weeks.

My condolences to the families and friends , may he Rest in Peace and the families find strength and comfort in Gods grace

So sorry to hear this. Howard and I go back a long time. I first met Howard in the early 70´s. We both worked at McCarthy-Read real estate. Howard built several apartment buildings for me over the years and helped me tremendously when I build my house at Smith Mountain Lake. He always had a great attitude in the midst of great adversity. What a unique and wonderful guy he was. He will be missed.
