Howard was a wonderful kind man who taught me how to tie a knot at the end of my fishing line one spring day while we were fishing. He taught many more things about life when I was growing up and our families were together. Howard and Helen are in a better place together but will be dearly missed.

Howard helped us fix up both our homes. He loved to entertain the girls walking around on his stilts. He was always great about putting up with my OCD ways. A true gentleman. RIP Howard.
