While I never knew Howard outside of the work environment every time I came in to coastal he took his time no matter if he was on the phone or what to always greet me and joke around and make me feel like more than just a customer. He was always very kind and went out of his way to help others around him and was never afraid to crack a sarcastic joke at you. I know he will be deeply missed by his friends and family as much and more than his customers. There will forever be a little less Joy going into coastals now that he's not there and will always be a little bit of a bittersweet reminder of his life and legacy.

Sorry for his passing. Played basketball and several years of softball against him and will hate not seeing him around.
