Howard loved his Lord and Savior and was very active as a Deacon at Calvary Baptist Church. He was for a time my Deacon visiting partner where we visited shut ins and served them communion. My wife and I Enjoyed our visits with him. His smiling face always made you feel welcome. He truly is with his lovely wife (Ezra), both praising their Lord and Savior.

We remember Howard and Edra as very faithful members of Calvary. They joined the seniors going out to eat a lot and on some of our trips. He always hugged you and showed he cared. He will be missed.
