I am so sorry to hear of Dr. Howard´s passing. He was my doctor when I was pregnant with quads. I will never forget the look on his face when he told me at 26 weeks he thought there was another baby. Then he showed me all four on the sonogram. He had everyone ready for when I delivered but he was in Hawaii on that August 12,2003 and Dr Tabor delivered them. I am pretty sure he never forgot finding baby four so late in my pregnancy. We all sat there and took some deep breaths before informing the nurses. He was wonderful. And I know is missed greatly. They are now 22 and my daughter is about to get married. I just wanted to share what a great doctor he was even after I had them and lost my other daughter he came down to the nicu when he heard and found me. I will never forget his kind words and generosity.

Dr. Howard delivered my oldest and middle child. My oldest born 7-1-1986 was delivered at 27weeks after being in the hospital for 4 weeks prior. He suffered 3 strokes and had to have 1 leg amputated just below the knee i was a young 19 year old and Dr. Howard saved my life and my baby and he was the most kind and wonderful DR. if it were not for Dr. Howard we would not have lived to tell our story. He was and will always be my hero. my thoughts and prayers to his family and loved ones. Rest in Peace Dr. Howard

When I started my residency in OBG at JPS in Fort Worth, Dr. Howard was our "high risk" clinic faculty. It was Monday mornings and he always brought donuts. I was very fortunate to have returned to JPS after Dr. Howard joined the faculty and got to interact with him as a peer. He was kind, generous, and smart. Anytime I worked on a Sunday, I brought donuts to honor him.

Susan, Through a friend, David was told of Tom´s obituary. Time stands still. It was just yesterday, as neighbors, we were helping the children into adulthood. Now Tom has gone on and the children are seeing
their own children into adulthood. David and I will always cherish the memories.
Share our condolences with Jennifer and Todd. Take care and know that you are in our thoughts as time moves forward. For now and always, David and Sally Dalton

So sorry to hear this, I was working at Harris L&D when Tim first arrived. We all loved him from the first moment. He took care of me during my high-risk pregnancy & was absolutely the best. My sympathy to all of his family.

I met Tom & Susan the moment I moved to Fort Worth 15 years ago. They immediately filled a roll of Fort Worth parents and truly the best of Friends. They loved and helped me through heart breaks and celebrated holidays and ALL birthdays for me and my children. I taught Tom Pilates for 8 years and was the greatest pleasure to spend a few hours per week with him. He told so many amazing stories and was a wealth of information. He was incredibly warm, generous, and witty. I miss you Tom and am praying as you head to your next adventure perfect mind and body. Susan, I love you and will always be here for hugs and dates. God Bless you! Love, Jayme

I had the pleasure of working with Dr. Howard as a L& D nurse from 1977 until he retired. He was one of the smartest, kind, and generous people I knew. He loved his patients and they loved him. We respected him and him us. May God wrap his arms around him, and you Susan in this sad time.
