Howard "Wali" peacefully passed away Thursday, March 14, 2013 with the devoted love of his life Ginger by his side after fighting a hard courageous battle with COPD for over 10 years. You left us too soon. Howard, I knew you were tired and ready. Your strenght and personal values were important parts of the significant role you demonstrated as a positive father figure in Mikie's "Big Man" life. You will live on forever in the hearts of the many people that knew and loved you, especially your health care provider Mrs. Cassandra "Shay" Nelson and her husband, Mr. Edward Nelson. Howard, to the world you may have been one person, but to me you were my world. Where ever a beautiful soul has been, there is a trail of beautiful memories. Love, yours forever, Ginger.
