Howard Brittingham Obituary
A proud veteran, Howard served his country as a Sergeant in the US Army, serving a tour of duty in Vietnam. For more than 20 years he found great professional satisfaction as a truck driver for local companies such as Steiner's and Atlantic Concrete. He then finished his career in sales and service positions, much of that time with Burris. He found joy on the golf course.
Along with his parents, he is preceded in death by his nephew Gregory Draper.
He will be greatly missed by his loving wife, Barbara A. Brittingham, his son Eric B. Brittingham (Christine Sears), his brother Harold "Butch" Brittingham (Cindy), and his cherished dog, Abby. He is also survived by his nephew Kenneth Draper (Darlene), and niece Pam Galyean.
