To the Family of Howard Slocumb. I am a 1967 Class mate of Howard and I was also a friend throughout the years on Cusseta Road where we grew up playing together. I pray that God is with you all at this trying time of your life. I know that this is a bit late but I just found out yesterday (October 25) about Howard. Robin and my son Jeremy Perry were in school together at E.E. Smith High when I was stationed at Ft. Bragg. Howard, Felton, Barbara, Kenneth, Myrthis, and myself were all class mates and we had a mini reunion when I was there. Howard and I grew up playing sand lot football and we were classmates from jr. high to high school grads. I will deeply miss Howard and may God Bless.
