Thomas DeWitt Howard

Condolences to the family...Mr. Howard will be miss by the families of the Delta Streets Academy players. Praying for you Coach Howard and the rest of the family. May God give you peace during this diffcult time. Ms.Blackmon & Isaiah

It is with great sadness that I learned of the passing of my boyhood friend. Tom and I went to Camp Elementary School in Hattiesburg (my mother may have taught him in the 4th grade) and although our paths only crossed infrequently after college, it was always great to see him. Our thoughts and prayers are with Robin and his family.

Robin and Family,
When my parents (Frank and Peggy Henderson) moved us to Jeff City, the friendships they made continued for decades. I have many memories of Tom before you married him and certainly after as well. I'm so sorry for your loss, and I'm hoping he has now met up with my dad for some laughs and stories.

All I remember is a kind, happy-go-lucky man who loved his family. I taught his boys at Northwest Rankin. They honored their father by their work and dedication. Heaven gained a beautiful soul. Prayers for his family.

Robin
Tom was the sweetest man ! I would see him when I would go in Becky's
office !Just in April we had a great conversation!So glad and honored to have know him !With all my love

Tom was truly one of a kind. His humility and grace was evident in all he said and did. His legacy will be carried on by his four wonderful children and perhaps others who knew him well and and shared hisi beliefs. He will be missed by many, more than they even know at this point but true to form, he would want us to carry on without making a fuss. That was and is Tom,

Tom used to come with Robin to our Silver Sneakers Class. i don't think his heart was in the exercising but he certainly kept us occupied with his humor as he attempted to keep up. Robin, he has been in our prayers since you passed along that he was not doing well when we last saw you. Our prayers are now with you and your family.
