Papa was a Amazing man , I could not have asked for a better Grandad . I miss him more than words can explain . He always knew what to say to make things right . My stepson Cj really enjoyed talking and meeting him . My nickname was "Pain" :) I remember when I was young I would sit behind him in the chair and comb his hair . About 2 months ago I was at their house & he asked me if I wanted to comb his hair again . I will cherish all my sweet memories of my papa & pass them on to my kids of how Wonderful their Great Grandfather was. Papa I love u with all my heart , I promised I would be there for Nana & I will stick to it !!!! Forever Your "Pain"

Oh Papa. You will be missed. Nicknames appear to be something that was passed down to you. Your nickname for Michael Curtis Howard, your grandson,will forever be remebered. "Peanut" is imprinted permanently not only on his arm, but in his heart. We all love you and will greatly miss you.

Our Granddaddy had nicknames for people in the family. I don't know if anyone else remembers, but he called David Michael, "Jimbo Jenkins."
