Howard was such a sweet and loving person. His life revolved around his children and step children. He set an example of loyalty and integrity. He served his family with love and devotion. His unselfishness will be missed by all who knew him. He was a beautiful spirit.

Kim and Kirk,
We always loved your mom and dad and counted them as close friends. It saddens me to learn of Howard's passing, but we know that he actually has "gone home". Now he has no more pain and is at peace. May the arms of our Lord Jesus Christ hold you close and His peace give you comfort in the days ahead as you learn to live with the loss of your dad. We love you.
