Publish in a newspaper

David Jesse Howell, "Pop", was a dedicated husband, father, and strong silent provider to the most important people in his life: his family. Pop had a great sense of humor, and he loved to laugh and joke with those he met and cared for. Pop was a skilled technician and the foremost expert in sewing machine and vacuum repair for over 40 years. He loved his family, and devoted his life to providing for and making them happy. He was very generous and caring to those around him, and he strongly believed that everyone had a right to be happy doing whatever gave them joy in life. Pop loved dogs and treated them as part of the family as well. Pop was as loyal to those he surrounded himself with as the dogs he loved.
It's impossible to sum up a man's life with words on a piece of paper. He was so many things to so many people, and it would take forever to describe what he meant to everyone whose lives he touched. He will most definitely be missed by all.

I've known David since I walked into his shop at the Town & Country shopping center and followed him and Pam from location to location. Always helpful, even if he grumbled from time to time. Pam and family, love you and heaven has gained another angel.
