Time and distance factored in with our lives going in different directions, but I know that if ever I had run into Howie after leaving Fort Mac all those years ago, he would have still been the same Howie I came to know through his friendship with my brother, John. He was so genuine and true to himself and his values. I always knew that when he was hanging out with John, that he would be like a brother and look out for him. I always enjoyed having Howie around our place, and I will always remember his laughter and smile, and above all, his goodness as a human being. There needs to be more people like Howie in this world. My thoughts are with his loved ones; may his legacy of love and kindness be with you always. I'm with you in spirit at his Celebration of Life today, and will hold you in my thoughts in the time ahead.

Whenever I met Howie,  he always greeted me with a smile and I can never forget that smile. A good soul and a good friend. I miss you Howie. Rest in peace.    

Howie  ,  Where  do I begin ?? You have touched so many peoples lives in so many ways !!!! My family was Truly Blessed to have had you in ours !!!!!  You will never be forgotten!!! You are truly a LEGEND!!!!  Hope your having the Ride of your Life  Brother !!!!!

We lost a close friend and advisor do to a tragic event.   He has been very helpful with industry advice and never turned away my phone calls or questions, and was always willing to help.  A man with a big heart that was taken from us too early, you will be deeply missed. It is very sad in life that the good people are taken from this world too early, but Howie, you will always live on in our memories and continue to have impacts on ours and many other lives.

Howie was one of the kindest people I (we) have ever had the pleasure to call friend. 
He was a pleasure to be around, his thrill for life was infectious.  His hello's were a hug instead of a handshake not caring who was around and his goodbye's were a spoken "Love ya Brother" . 
Howie exemplified the saying " He would give the shirt off his back" , he truly would have if you needed it.  
On a road trip to Jasper I ran out of gas on my Glide. A couple miles from a gas station Howie sprung into action saying  " Hang on, I Got This" and off he went at light speed.
Ten minutes later he rolled up without a Jerry Can, instead a Slurpee Cup filled with gas Tucked in his jacket.  That was Howie.
Words can not express our sadness for the loss of our friend.  We feel blessed that we enjoyed his friendship as long as we did and can now only hope that we meet again someday.  Until then, "Love Ya Brother", .

We miss you very much! I’m not sure how to do this without you, and definitely do not want to, but if I have to, I will draw strength from the amazing people who have shown their love to us. Some of them I never would have known if it weren’t for you, so thank you so much for that ♥️ Love you for ever and ever! 

I met Howie about 20 years ago, he was also a groomsman in my wedding and that is where he first met my sister Angie. After that day their love began and they went on to have two beautiful and very smart children Chloe and Cole. 
Howie was a lot of things but to me he was an amazing father, he was a very active and fun dad he did so much with Chloe and Cole he loved his children more than anything and was so proud of them. He was amazing to my girls as well him and Angie took them on many of their family trips, he spoiled my girls. They loved him very much..
Howie you definitely lived life to the fullest and made your presence known. Makenna, Jessalyn  and I will never forget you and will keep you in our hearts forever.

Howie I’m going to Miss you So much!! You where the closest thing I had to having a Real BROTHER!! Till we Ride again, my Friend... Love ya 🤘🏼

That’s the Howie I will always remember!!!!    

Met Howie when were in our teens through mutual friends. Naturally goofy, we got along. Met up every now and then then lost contact. Started working together at Cross then again at N.A.C.G.. Kept connected on FB, the odd picture of post comment here and there. We always remained friends. 

RIP Howie 
You gave me a job and a raise when I needed one and always treated me with respect. Thank you Howie 
See you in heaven my friend 

Met Howie in 99 when I bought my first sled off him at the Arctic Cat shop in McMurray, also bought my first Harley off him in Edmonton a few years later,  great guy always smiling, keep on riding my friend.

I met Howie a few years back on a project in Joffre ab with North American.  He was a caring and considerate guy with lots of ideas to help us complete the project. He always had a smile and always had a helping hand. We later moved on to a project in Anzac where I became a foreman for that project. Howie had a big hand in getting that job for me and will be forever grateful for that! He is a legend and will be sadly  missed by many. Thoughts and prayers to all of his family! Take care!
