Not sure what to say?

My prayers from Tony Michael. He was a GREAT friend I had for 8 in school and sports plus years. May he rest in peace.

What a very nice man. He graduated from GAR with my mom Sandy Belles. Sadly we lost my mom earlier this year as well. When I was a substitute teacher at GAR I would speak to him often. I always love talking to him and my mom`s name usually came up. God bless and Godspeed Mr. Sparks. Say hello to my mom up there in heaven for me. Lots of prayers for you and your family.

Words cannot convey the loss Crosby's passing is to our family as well as his church and the community. I remember his kindness and compassion when my father passed. When I was confirmed 46 years ago he was my sponsor. Rest in peace Oliver Crosby Sparks III. He was the true definition of a good man. He touched so many lives and was a positive influence to all who knew and loved him. Good bye cousin, see you soon.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the Sparks family for there loss. Mr. Sparks was a good teacher and wrestling coach at G.A.R. May he rest in peace.

My deepest sympathies to the Sparks family. Although I never had Mr. Sparks as a teacher he was one of the wisest to walk the hall of the Science department. He definitely kept those elephants away with that wooden pointer stick. He will be missed by many.

My deepest sympathies go out to the Sparks family. I am very sorry to learn of the passing of Mr. Sparks. I knew him at St. George's and he was my Biology teacher at G.A.R. many years ago. I have never forgotten him. I thank him for my career in the medical sciences because he made Biology so interesting. He was a great teacher and a wonderful man. Rest in peace, Mr. Sparks.

The elephants in heaven better take notice of his arrival. He will be missed and remembered.

Dear Jackie, He will surely be missed by all who knew him as the priestly person that Crosby was on the altar of St.Anthony´s. I pray for you and your family to find peace and for Crosby´s soul to be in a place of refreshment, light and peace.
