Howard Lynn Goldstrom, 80, of Greenville, Texas, passed away on Monday, August 11, 2025. He was born in Chicago, Illinois, and lived there for several years before moving to Indiana. In 2019, he relocated to Florida, and later to Texas in 2023.

Howard attended Lane Technical High School and earned an associate degree in Business Administration from Generations College.

He was a lifelong member of the Knights of Columbus, both in Mishawaka, Indiana, and Greenville, Texas. Howard enjoyed playing BINGO and visiting casinos—he especially loved the slot machines! A devoted Chicago Cubs fan, he was thrilled to see them win the World Series in 2016.
