Many musical memories from my 4 years in choir at Joliet Central. Mr. Howell was an extraordinary musician as well as teacher, and was so very willing and anxious to share his knowledge and gift with his students. I am thankful as well as greatful that he shared those gifts with me. Rest in peace, Mr. Howell.

Mr. Howell was our choir director at Joliet Central. My senior year (1972) we recorded Jesus Christ Super Star. He was outstanding in his field and a true teacher, lover of his students and gave me some wonderful memories. May he rest in peace.

Some of my fondest memories of high school were from choir, not from the actual singing but the interaction between Mr. Howell and his students. My condolences to the family.
