William Howard Scudder

I really enjoyed teaching with Howard at St. B. This is a shock for me and I know he is missed by many.

Mr. Scudder was my music teacher at Austin Peay, I was a very non traditional student. Worked full time, married, a daughter that I coached her softball team, there was always something that come up that I couldn't go to class, he wanted me to succeed so much he called me at work to let me know I could do my class online like he would let his deployed students because he Didnt want me to quit and withdrawal. He won me over that day. I will NEVER FORGET this sweet man! I hope my story comforts...

After reading all these sweet and wonderful comments written about you Howard, I would hope everyone who reads them knows of the impact you had on so many lives. We played wedding after wedding together and he blew Purcell until he could blow NO MORE.. What a FINE person, Fine Musician, and great friend. We are fortunate to have had him pass thru our lives. Hand out roses to those who have meant so much to the events in your life while they can still hear them. I am so sorry for this...

We are never prepared for a loss whether its expected or not, it comes like a swift wind. Please take comfort in knowing that he is now resting in the arms of our Lord. I pray God comfort you during this walk.

Mr. Scudder was my high school band teacher my junior year. He believed in my talent for music & recommended that I go to Belmont University to continue my music education. He wrote me a great reference letter to Belmont my senior year, even though he was no longer my teacher. After over 20 years in the music industry, I owe most of it to this mans belief in my talent. He will be greatly missed & I am so sorry for the families loss.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Howard was a wonderful person. Our family loved him very much.He played his trumpet at all our weddings! God Bless all of you.I will miss him.

So sorry for your loss!!I will keep you and your family in my prayers.

Howard was a sweet and wonderful friend. He will be missed! Barbie you and your family are in my prayers. May God give you comfort and peace .

Condolences to the Scudder family. Scud and I were college room mates and good friends. We drifted apart but reconnected last year. You will be missed my friend. Every time I heard or hear a trumpet, I think of you.
