Howard Dare Obituary
DARE, HOWARD W. "HOWIE", JR., of Centreville, MD passed away following a stroke on March 9, 2017. Born in Baltimore on December 21, 1934, he was a retired Special Agent with the FBI. After graduating from Baltimore Polytechnic Institute where he starred on the football and baseball fields, he accepted a scholarship to the University of Maryland. A halfback and safety, he played in the 1956 Orange Bowl for the collegiate national championship and would self-effacingly recall dropping a punt before the Queen of England during a 1957 game. He also excelled on the diamond and set NCAA and ACC records for base stealing. He was drafted by the Green Bay Packers and in 2006 was inducted into the University of Maryland Athletic Hall of Fame. He also was an accomplished NCAA football and lacrosse official. He is survived by three sons: Josh Dare of Richmond, Va., Timothy Dare of Severna Park, Md., and Randall Dare of Stevensville, Md., as well as by six grandchildren. He was preceded in death by a fourth son, Howard W. Dare, III. He will be interred during a private family service.

I had the good fortune of working with Howie in the early 70's while we were both assigned to the Intelligence Division at FBI Headquarters. He was a great guy - funny, interesting and knowledgeable. We shared many laughs. He will be missed and will remain in my prayers.

Our entire family loved Howie for his humor and his generosity for many years. We will never forget his quick wit, his good-hearted teasing, his Maxwell Smart impersonation, and his silver dollar pancakes. Our lives are richer and happier for having known him. Our condolences go out to his family, especially his sons.
