I was fortunate enough to meet Mr. Shively through his son Ed who is my best friend from our Navy days. "Howie" was a gracious host to our golf vacations and was a gem of a man. He imparted wisdom on us youngins and never had a cross word for anyone. He will truly be missed but I'm sure the Lord is enjoying his company immensely.
All of our love goes out to the Shively family and you are in our prayers.

You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. Your father's gentle smile was surely a window into his soul. As a daughter who also lost my father, I know that words cannot possibly address what you're going through at this difficult time. Please know that we're constantly lifting you up in prayer. May our Lord comfort you, and give you peace and strength. Please let me know if I can help you in any way.
In His Love,
