Helen and family,
As a child I practically lived at your house. So many wonderful memories. Helen, and Howard were my adopted parents, and Judy was my best friend. There was something fun going on most of the time. Or something to be learned. My dad and Howard worked together for over 30, maybe 40 years. Later after high school, I worked with Howard for 10 years. And I believe I also worked with just about all of Howard's children. Glen, Carol, and Theresa. Howard will certainly be missed by his loving family and many friends. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

What a wonderful man and role model for all of us in Fassett. Howard was never too busy to help others, to listen to a lost sole or just to be there for a comforting word. Teenager you will be missed. Sympathy and prayers to a wonderful family.

I worked with Howard at RKB many years ago. He was a great person. His family should be proud of his influence on the people he met over the ears.
