Howard was a true friend, who loved his family. He was a little brother to me. We talked about the Bible weekly. He enjoyed time coaching with his son and family events. Howard truly loved to serve others. His shoes will be hard to fill. One thing I know....he walked "In His Steps". A quiet spoken man, but his presence was large. Our Heavenly Father is pleased with his service. Love you forever. Now you are living Matthew 25:21: "His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord". Till we meet again. Your big sis. in the Lord!
