What an amazing man he was. Taught me a lot about my faith and dedication. For standing up for what you believe in and what was right. It was a pleasure to know him. Prayers to the family. We will meet up again one day.

Dearest Nelda and family, My deepest heartfelt love and prayers to you all today in the passing of a wonderful husband, father, doggie dad, Christian, beloved grandfather, great-grandfather, and great-great grandfather. I was a true pleasure and honor to know Howard and I will have fond memories of him every time I am at pine chapel church (which he was a long time member of ) in all the wood work and additions he and others did for the church. May Gods comfort heal you and support you now...

Please accept our deepest sympathy for the loss of Howard Wilson. Our love and prayers are with you. Mr. Wilson and family were dear friends at Hampton Roads Baptist Church. The Fernald and McKinley families loved them so much. We have so many fond memories of the Wilson Family. Our love and prayers are with you. Tom and Judy Fernald, and Rex McKinley
