My Family and I send our deepest regrets and sympathy to Aunt Winnie and my cousins. I have many fond memories of the times the Three Brothers - Uncle Earl, Father Ralph and Uncle Howard would get our families together and play, picnic and look at their latest 35 mm photos on screen. As they entered this world, so did they leave it, in the same order. There's little anyone can say or do when a loved one leaves us, but we can recall the good, bad and ugly times shared and know that they will always be with us, if only in spirit. I pray that Earl & Dad were there in Heaven waiting for him to show up and help fire up the grills and that they'll have the hot dogs and hamburgers going when the rest of us join them for another big family get together. Our thoughts and prayers go out to all of Howards family, friends and acquaintnesses over the years. May our memories of his laughter, kindness and personality put smiles on our faces as we each recall how much he meant to us. With LOVE, from Ron, Gale, Jody, Randy and Abby Drake.
