Uncle Howard is surely missed. Us Fonzo girls loved him like a father. His face lit up with a big smile each time I’d bring mommy and daddy to visit him. He truly enjoyed our company and the conversations we shared. Love you Uncle Howard and missing you. 😥❤️

For the family, you are in my thoughts and prayers. He worked on my lawn mowers. I bought a new Jacobson riding mower from him. God Bless You!

Howard Cheek loved to come to the service  held once a month at Universal 
Health Care  where I sang gospel songs for residents.  I would personally go by his room to tell him I would be singing.  He told me his story  about the Battle of the Bulge three years ago.  My piano player and other singers knew to sing patriotic songs for him.  He loved "God bless America".  He was touched when we recognized  his service to the U.S.A.  I loved Howard Cheek.  I will  miss his sweet smile.  I will donate money to Christian United Outreach Center in memory of Howard Cheek.  May his family members be blessed.  On this Memorial Day, I am proud  to say that it was a privilege to have known this fine soldier.

Our Sweet dear Howard. Our thoughts and prayers for comfort, peace and guidance to the family during this difficult time.  Bobby had helped Howard at his lawn mower shop many years ago when we first started dating. He and Margaret were always a joy to talk to and cut up with when I would drop by. They both attended our wedding back in 1990. 

What a wonderful person he was to me always smiling when I would enter his room. I am so glad I tapped on his window from the outside to say hello when the coronavirus first began. I volunteer there,worked in the flower beds at universal. He will surely be missed. Penny 

Sorry for your loss.  Howard was a special person. I always enjoyed visiting with him at Universal.  He will be greatly missed.
Sincerely, Bill Scotton


I'm Sam and Ava Wilson's daughter.  We lived just down the road, on the other side of the creek, from Margaret and Howard.  I vividly remember his kind smile and nature.  May God bless his family.

Such a sweet and lighthearted person, you will be greatly missed! Love and prayers for the family.

Sincerely,
Gary & Lisa Brewer


Ron and family, please know you are in my thoughts and prayers at this time.  I have very fond memories of this very kind and loving man.  I know he will be missed very much by many.  So sorry Peggy and I will not be able to be with you.  I will be making a Memorial  Donation to the PKFA soon.
With love,
Edna Jo

Thoughts & Prayers for Hap's family. Such a precious person and he will not be forgotten!

I always enjoyed delivering and taking parts orders at Howard's small engine shop. My dad bought several simplicity mowers from him and always valued his friendship, as did I. He always had a smile and took time to engage in conversation with me when I was young. Condolences to Ronnie, Jan, and all the family of such a pleasant man.

Always a joy to visit with Howard! Good memories! Prayers and condolences to his family in this time of earthly loss.

Mr. Cheek was a true American hero. He was a wonderful man and I always enjoyed my talks with him while working at Universal Health care Ramseur! My thoughts and prayers are with this family during this difficult time!

A loss of a true hero of his generation, but also a hero and dear friend to our Mom  Alice saddens us as a family who will miss seeing the joy and light he shared with her. Everyone should find a friend of such importance in the beautiful twilight of their years. God speed dear soilder and thank you for your service to the end. 

When I lived in Liberty and worked at Food Lion Hap would come in and always get a hug. I always looked forward to him coming in. 

I loved to roll my Momma to Mr. Cheek's room at Universal.  He was so friendly and lively that it brought her out many times. He was crowned "Mr. Universal" at some activity in these past years and he was truly loved there. I will miss his smile and hospitality. Prayers for peace for the family. 

Our sincere condolences and prayerful sympathy to the family of Mr. Cheek.  We never got to meet Mr. Cheek but feel like we knew him through the love of his family.  God bless you all at this time. 

To the family and friends of Howard, our thoughts and prayers are with you during this time.

My prayers and condolences to his family. Mr. Cheek always had a smile. I always liked being there when I was taking piano lessons from Mary.
