Richard L. "Skip" Howard

Aunt Mary, June, Rick, Karen, Joyce, and Grandchildren,

I'm not very good at this. ( Joyce you know I can't spell! ) But I really have the need to let all of you know how much Uncle Skip meant to us.

From the time I was little, he was so funny... with Ham and Eggs... and Mystery Rides that mostly ended up at the airport. I don't know how we didn't catch on?? And don't forget the song, I Had a Dog named Rex.

We are so grateful for all the things he did for my Mom. He...

Dear Mary; Dick will be sorely missed by all of his Norton and YMCA friends who appreciated his service as a member of the Norton Alumni Social Club and a volunteer to the Greendale Family Branch YMCA Annual Partner with Youth Campaign. Dick worked for three years on our Annual Clambake at SAC Park before becoming a member of the committee. He was introduced to us through his friend from Maine Dick Lord.

Aunt Mary and family, know that we are with you now feeling your loss and we will be here for you whenever you need us.

He was someone that would drop what he was doing to help someone out and it didn't matter who it was he was right there to help. He was so caring and giving. I know in my heart that he has a special place in heaven and hopfully that's right next to...

Mary and Family,
Dick and I want you all to know how sorry we are that we've lost such a wonderful friend. His corny stories and crazy songs will long be remembered by all who knew him. We will be with you all tomorrow. Our Love and prayers,

Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

God must have needed a new angel to make him laugh. God certainly knew the right guy. Grandpa, I can already picture you teaching everyone up there how to sing "ham & eggs". I love you and miss you, but I know I will see you again someday.

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.
