What a kind guy he was. I will always remember him as the photographer at Pickering High School! So many of his photographs ended up in our yearbooks. What a kind man he always was. God bless you Howard! And precious dreams!

Dear Family & Friends, I am so sorry to read of Howard´s passing. I remember his smile and all of his wonderful photography work while we were at Pickering High School. He was very kind and my family used to rent videos from his local family video store. He was very kind when my mom threw away a 30 gal garbage bag full of his store videos, thinking it was some fish scales and guts from my dad´s fishing trip. I hope his spirit is renewed and refreshed as he moves on from this life. May his memory be a blessing for all who befriended him and loved him.

I´m so sad to see this. Although we lost touch I still thought of him often. He documented our lives with his camera and taught me how to develop photos. He was a caring, funny friend.

I am so saddened to hear of Howard's passing. I had searched for him and found where he had been in Natchotoches, but could not find additional info through Facebook or Classmates. He was a kind and caring friend. I wish we had maintained contact.
