Vernon Lee "Tony" Howard

Tony was one of the most caring and compassionate men I have ever met. I was blessed to work beside him at the food pantry and he taught me so much especially how to truly see the heart of the person in front of you. It could be hard work but he was also fun to be with. I remember when someone new, especially a teen, came to volunteer he made them clean all the potatoes in the sacks. He said once they had to pick out the rotten smelly ones he'd know if they really wanted to help! He did that to several of my kids :) Those years beside him and Pat were some of my best years. I had promised him that when he died I'd sneak a Yoohoo into his casket..then I'd secretly pray I would never have to do it.
Our family is so sorry for your great loss and we will all keep you in our prayers.

Pat, so sorry to hear of Tony´s passing, praying for you and family
