My husband was a police officer for twenty five years. He spoke of Bill Howell with great fondness and respect. He worked with him in patrol and C.I.U. Ray loves to remember "the good guys" and Bill was always spoken of in that vein.

This is Wendy Woodward and my father is Jim Woodward, good friends to your paternal grandfather.

Your dad was one of my dad's best friends. Bill was a lot younger than my dad, but he used to come get my dad and take him for rides around town in a corvette (I think?). My dad was in his 80s and they would go cruising for 'chicks'...lol.

My dad loved your dad like a son! He said Bill was like the son he never had. I am very sorry for your loss. He was a wonderful man. I remember visiting your grandfathers house when I was little.

My sister Debbie and I wish you peace. We are very sorry indeed for the loss of your wonderful father.

I am so sorry for your loss. May you receive strength and comfort from God. "He will make you firm, he will make you strong, he will firmly ground you." - 1Peter 5:10

Hi Chrissy and Steph, it's Aunt Linda. Dustin told me of your dads passing and I was so saddened the news. I'd like to pay my respects if there's going to be a service. If you're going to be in town it'd be great to get together with you both. I know my boys would love to join us. Give my best to you family. 760 815-1963
