Howard enlisted in the Army and proudly served his country during the Korean War. He was a longtime member of the Gordon Bissell American Legion Keene Post #4.

He was an avid coin collector, and enjoyed collecting anything containing the word "Love" written on it. He loved to play chess and was a member of a chess club in Keene, participating in many area tournaments as well.
He loved jigsaw puzzles and anything that would help him to "keep a sharp mind".
His family and his many friends meant the world to him.
