I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER UNCLE HOWARD BY HIS LAUGHTER AND NEVER ENDING BEAR HUGS.....

Uncle Howard was a wonderful, kind hearted and loving man. He would always make it his priority to stop in for a cup of coffee when he was working in the area, or when he was heading down the hill to visit his brother Roland (my grandfather). My brothers, sisters, and I enjoyed those visits with Uncle Howard, and I am sure we will always remember the love he shared with all of us.

May Uncle Howard's spirit live on in the hearts he has touched with his love and kindness.
