Joseph Julian Spears Jr.

I still think of Joe frequently and fondly - thankful to have known him

I was just checking to see if your mother still lived in Mt Holly, when your fathers obituary came up. That's when I realized that Mrs Spears was deceased. She taught me at Olympic High School in 1967 and 1968. She is the only person that had faith in me
attending college. She new I liked USC, and ordered me the University of South Carolina manuel. She was the best teacher I ever had. Because of Mrs Spears I graduated from USC with a degree in accounting. My son and i have enjoyed many...

Coach was a remarkable man. He always seemed to have a smile on his face and truly enjoyed life and teaching.

Coach Spears was my Algebra teacher and football coach. I recall his sense of humor, fairness, and civic duty. Like my Mother he was in the upper echelon of Mount Holly teachers. I know he positively influenced the next generation of teachers as well as all other professions. Our prayers are with the Spears family.

Joe was a colleague of mine for many years. He was a wonderful teacher and well respected. My prayers go out to his family. He will be greatly missed.
