Howard was a special man who loved his family dearly and a giving heart that would do anything he could to help anyone. He had good strong work ethics and worked hard his entire life. He enjoyed playing and listening to his favorite music. He loved to watch the eagles soaring above the Mississippi River whenever he could. He had a wonderful smile and his contagious laughter would light up the room wherever he was. He is loved dearly by many and will be sadly missed. We will always carry your memory in our hearts.

Rev: 21:4 “He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.”

Rest in Peace.

A memorial service honoring his wishes to soar with the eagles will be held at a later date.
