Betty,

Howard was a wonderful and kind man. Paul and I met him when we had our mechanic shop (ASAP Automotive) across the street from Howard on Little Farms. May he rest in peace and our prayers are with you and your family.

I first met the big man, Howard Crouch, in 1980 as he worked his wrecker. He was a good and decent hard working individual who always had a smile on his face. It was always a pleasure to met him. He was a big man with a child like side to him which made him special. I considered him my friend. He will be missed but I know that he is with God and both have a smile on their faces.

Dana/Betty, So sorry for your loss, I was pregnant when I worked for your dad. He really was a go getter, and did not take anything from anyone. Even thought we went to school together, I only knew your dad for about 19 years. I meet him at my wedding. I heard and experienced many stories with Mr. Howard. He was a good man. My thoughts and prayers are with you and the family during these times of grief. May Jesus comfort you. God Bless

I remember when we were little grandma would take us to the shop to visit. Grandpa would give me sandpaper kisses on my cheek with his whiskers all the time. :) When we'd go to his house to visit, I'd always play with the monkey that clapped 2 symbols together and the fiber optic plant. Happy memories. The greatest gift grandpa gave our family is Aunt Dana. She's the most loving and coolest Aunt ever. I will always love ya'll very much. You'll forever hold a very special place in my heart. Rest in peace and God bless. Love Stephanie.

What I will miss the most about my Uncle Howard is his smile. He was always smiling and joking around. There was never a dull moment when he was around. He had gleam in his eye that let you know he was about to stir things up and make it fun! He was a big man, tall and he had big hands, but his heart was even bigger than he was! He loved his family and wanted the best for them. We loved him very much and he will be greatly missed.

Having known Howard since 1967, I can say he was one of the best people I had to deal with as a trooper. He knew people and would do anything to help someone. He always talked about his "little girl" and was devoted to her, she was a little girl then. He will be missed by everyone who knew him.

Betty/Dana, Sorry we cannot be there with you, but you are in our thoughts and prayers. May God comfort you and the family at this time. Love to all.

Daddy, I will ALWAYS love you, I was always your little girl and your pumpkin. I hope I have made you proud, because I was always proud to call you my Daddy! You lived a long and happy life, you was always a go getter kind of person, and didn't take any crap from anybody. I am glad that you and Betty found each other, cause she really loves you. She took so good care of you when you needed her, so be proud of her Daddy, I know I am! Now you can rest and not be in any kind of pain, and your surounded by your Mom and Dad and my Mother. Rest Daddy, Rest... You will NEVER leave my heart... I will forever love you.. Your little girl & pumpkin, Dana
