Hilda, I never met your son, Sparky, but I can tell by the sentiments of all those who commented or lit candles in your son's memory that he will remain in the hearts and minds of many. And so his Spirit lives on as a testament to the impact he had on the lives of others. May this give you comfort.

Our deepest and sincerest condolences to the family. Words alone can not ease the pain when grieving the loss of a love one. The Bible provides comfort during these difficult times. Revelation 21:3-4 states, "And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away". May God give you and your family comfort in your loving memories and in His promise that soon we will never experience losing our loved ones in death and we will be able to see them again once they resurrected as per John 5:28-29. May these words give you a new hope, with deepest sympathy and warmth of heart.

Hilda, Roger Jr. and family, we are so sorry for your loss. Sparky will surely be missed. I saw him at the grill several times when I was there with Pam. He was a lot of fun. He and Pam are having fun in Heaven now. Sorry we were out of town and missed the service. Hope to see you soon.

Sparky you and I have shared so many times together. We have laughed at each other, prayed for each other and shared a many of stories. I will miss you greatly in Sunday School.
I still remember one of the Sunday School lessons we had about 6 months ago when I wrote this on the board.
I LOVE THE LORD BECAUSE................................................... when it got to your turn you started singing.
Because he lives I can face tomorrow because he lives all fear is gone.
Until we see each other again, love Pam.

When I went to the visitation Sunday evening, I went early and there were folks already in line. As I progressed in line the funeral directors closed the front door and opened the Chapel door and had folks come in that way. When I left there were people standing outside the door. I went to Church and on my home home I saw the line way down the street. He was loved by so many and known by so many and the out pour of visitors was amazing. I know you are saddened at this time but try to think of the wonderful times you had during his life and all the folks that loved him and I am sure you will have a smile. May God bless you.

Everyone in Norwood will certainly miss Sparky's smile and big wave. We all should strive to be a light in someone's day and smile at everyone we meet..may be the only sign of God someone sees during the day. God bless all his family and all the many friends from Norwood. Trust the Lord for strength and you will feel it. Praying for all of you.

We will surely Miss Sparky his smile and his Happy Spirit we'll miss seeing him as we passed through Norwood on the way back and forth to church and hearing him as he shouted when we went by. There will never be a more caring and giving person than Sparky who would help you no matter who you were or what you needed he was always willing to help. I am sure that he is running around in Glory now shouting to the top of his lungs WHOO with his hands raised in the air and will be for an eternity

To the family of Sparky- this was truly a special man. He always helped me anytime that I asked him for help. Always smiling and making jokes and picking on my family. He will truly be missed by everyone who had the wonderful chance to know him. Just keep good memories of him for he is Home.

As we drove through Norwood this evening, we reminisced of all the times and places we have seen you. You are going to be missed in so many ways, in hearing you make a joyful noise to the Lord, or your quirkiness, and Jeff and I can hear you say "you better act like you know me", we loved hearing you laugh, how you would greet everyone with a handshake, but would pull your hand back and say "I will get you later". We know we will see you again, and when we do "you better act like you know me".

Norwood has lost an ICON. Your daily presence at the Grill ,seeing you ride the streets around town on your lawn mower, cleaning the car wash, hanging around Jimmy's Barber Shop, or just passing you by on a daily basis will be greatly missed by all who knew you. You had a unique way of introducing yourself to strangers that always cracked me up with sayings like this - do you know my name, I hope you know yours or challenging folks no matter how big or small, whether you knew them or not, to go outside for a butt whooping. If you knew him you couldn't help but love the guy. If you never met him you missed a blessing. I am proud to have been called friend by you and blessed to have known You. Rest well my FRIEND!!
