I was blessed also to have grown up and attend Spring Hill Baptist church with Ronnie, Randy and Pat. Something very good was also sewn into my heart from this little valley that has stuck with me my whole life. Though suddenly shortened, his life and accomplishments were amazing! Love to all the Howard family.

From the Florida Halley Family I would like to extend our deepest condolences to all of Ron's family. He was a very special person and will be dearly missed.
I first met Ron while visiting Al and Doris in Germany the kids were small and the memories of traveling with his family through Czeck and Poland are forever etched into my memories . And the love he showed Al and Doris and our mother Mrs. Florida, when she was visiting just shows how once you met this man you were a friend. Our Love and Prayers are with each of you and may your memories of Ron bring you peace during the days to come.
God's Blessings to you

Dear John and Katie, These letters are never easy to write, but you need to know that your friends and loved ones are thinking of you. I am saddened to hear of your loss. My heart and prayers go out to you and the family of an outstanding individual. When my father passed, I too did not have the chance to be present. It was the memories of him and I playing and laughing together when I was young that kept me going. I hope the good memories keep you in comfort while you grieve the loss of your father. “My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever” Psalm 73:26

Thoughts, prayers and condolences go out to the family, friends and loved ones of Mr. Howard during this difficult time. While I only got to meet with Mr. Howard a few times, each one was always a positive experience. Each time he would greet me with a smile and a firm handshake with that lead from the front attitude. Mr. Howard will be sorely missed by all.

Ron was a warrior, a patriot, and a true American hero. A quiet leader who led by example, he flew under the most challenging circumstances on special operations that were commonplace to the Nightstalkers of the 160th. Ron was one of the best aviators I ever flew with. Most importantly, he was a great family man with strong religious convictions. Ron will be missed by all. I send my deepest sympathy to the Howard family.

Tom Wiese

June 16, 2017

Ron was a warrior, a great father, and a dear friend. He is directly responsible for leading me to Christ in 1989 with many long discussions on his back porch in Clarksville and for that I am eternally grateful. For the Howard family I pray you find comfort in the knowledge that Ron is now with his Heavenly Father. As Jennifer said so eloquently, "His timing is not always our timing". So true. He will be sorely missed. Goodbye my brother.
