My heart goes out to the entire Bonner. Howard was a truly devoted husband, father, Grandfather and Great-grandfather. He was full of life and dearly cherished his family. May God hold the hands of those who are grieving his departure from life on earth. Howard, you certainly will be missed.

Mr. Bonner was such a wonderful & respected man. Whenever I saw him, he always had a welcoming smile on his face & nice things to say. I always thought it was special how he looked at his wife & spoke of his children. Sending prayers to the Family.

I met Howard when my sister married into his family. I thought he was a kind and gentle man. He was quiet but never shy. He always greeted me with a smile and a kind word. He loved to chat. He always wanted to hear how my family I were doing . Howard always made me feel welcome.
He always showed up for the parties, cookouts, holidays and Birthday celebrations. Howard enjoyed to be with family and friends sharing good food especially the sweets. He had a quick wit and enjoyed a joke but never at the cost someone´s feelings. I felt his love and pride for his wife and children. I also could see the joy and delight in his face while watching his grandchildren and great grandchildren play. I never heard Howard say a bad word about anyone. I feel very blessed to have met him and I am very grateful for all the years he welcomed me into his family. My condolences to his beautiful family. Pam

Howard was a fun man to work with at the CO-OP supermarket. He always was happy with a big smile on his face. So sad for your loss. He now claims his just reward exchanging life here on earth for life forever with our Lord. Blessing to the family.
