Howard / Jack Dodson

FAQ: Howard / Jack Dodson

Is Jack Dodson (Howard Sprague) still living?

Jack Dodson passed away September 16, 1994, just a few days before Mayberry Days of that year. I remember hearing a radio program as we were driving to Mt. Airy. The announcer supposedly placed a phone call to Howard Sprague in heaven! Whoever did Jack Dodson's voice was dead-on perfect. Did anybody else catch that? I don't remember what station we were listening to; it was probably somewhere in Kentucky or West Virginia. -Paul Mulik
