At 67, Howard left behind a legacy defined not by titles, but by the deep, soulful connections he forged with everyone around him.
Howard was the king of the quiet moment. Whether he was waiting for a bite on his line or sitting on the porch for a late-night talk, he had a rare gift for making people feel loved. He was our rock—the person who stood tallest when life got hardest. He taught us that strength isn't just about being tough; it’s about being there.
We will find him again in every quiet morning by the water and in every story shared among the children and grandchildren who were his pride and joy.
Psalm 23:1-4
"The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want... Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me."
