Born on June 4, 1923, Howard was the son of Ira and Alta (Tupper) Knox. He grew up with a deep respect for nature and a strong work ethic, qualities that would define his life and career. A lifelong woodsman, Howard dedicated himself to a career in forestry, where he spent decades working in the Maine woods he loved so dearly. He was Master of Fairfield Center grange, which he took great pride in.
Howard married Florence, and together they built a life and raised their family in Fairfield, ME. He was a devoted husband, father, and friend-known for his quiet strength, deep wisdom, and the gentle pride he took in his work and family.
Howard is survived by his wife Florence, his son Wayne Knox and his wife Mary, his daughter Noreen York and her husband John, and his beloved grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.
Howard's life was one of integrity, resilience, and enduring love. His legacy will live on in the hearts of all who knew him.
