I am going to miss you so much Daddy, it will never be the same without you in this worldd
You are so greatly missed Uncle Howard.
May God be with all of you in your hour of need. So, so sorry to hear of Howard’s passing so suddenly. Our hearts go out to all of you.
I will miss our visits. Thank you for the fun times and visits.
Thank you, Uncle Howard, for the great backpacking trips you led to Myrtle Lake in the Alpine Lakes Wilderness where we set up camp and caught trout in the lake. It was my first exposure to real wilderness camping and roughing it without the luxuries of home. We all learned from your wilderness camping skills and enjoyed the meals you prepared over the campfire with the trout we caught. I will miss you, but I will always remember the good times we had.
Uncle Howard was the best. His knowledge of the outdoors and cooking over the camp fires will always be remembered.
He would take us fishing on the Duwamish is his boat and we would always bring home fish to cook. Camping, clamming, bakery picnics the list is endless. Thank you for the great memories.
Mike and I will miss Uncle Howard. I always enjoyed seeing him at family get-togethers. Mike credits Uncle Howard with introducing him to backpacking, which remains a passion of his to this day.
Howard was such a nice guy. I remember him as one of my Safeway customers. He was a great person to talk to and was always very pleasant with me. I always appreciated his cheerful smile.
I will miss Howard as a money counting companion, and his presence at the many activities Betty took part in at Holy Family. He was always Betty’s faithful companion and helpmate. God speed you to Heaven, Howard.
May his soul speedily reach the gates of heaven.
Howard, I’m really going to miss you. Thanks for everything you did for me.
To My Sister, Betty & Family:
A Poem: YESTERDAY
Where have you gone since yesterday,
Left us lonely here?
Today you seem so far away,
Who yesterday was near.
No map of ours that we may use,
Your journey can we trace.
We only know you’ve reached your Home,
And seen your Father’s Face.
At a time of such unexpected sadness,
Love & Memories Endure.
And they will stay with you forever.
May God Comfort & Heal You.
Love, Your Sister Marie
Aunty & My Dear Deloris, Our Hearts are filled with sadness over the sudden loss of your Sweet Husband, Loving Father, and Sweet Uncle. Thank You for inviting us to enjoy You All at your Lovely 50th Wedding Anniversary Party. Our Father’s Loving Arms Comfort You & Your Whole Family.
Howard was always so pleasant and helpful at the many receptions and events at Holy Family when he brought Betty and he carried in endless boxes with a smile!. I feel honored to have known him. I am so sorry that he has left you all too soon. My prayers go to all of you.
Dear Betty Jean,
When I think of all the people I have met in life reminds me of a patchwork quilt of faces and memories. I will always remember Howard, and miss his presence along side of you. He was a good man!
Our family’s condolences, Betty.
Dennis, Susan, & Chris
I will miss Howards sense of humor and stories of his life experiences we use to share during our money counting sessions at Holy Family. I feel privileged to have known such a nice man.
Money counting without Howard will never be the same. So
glad to have known him. May his dear soul rest in peace. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
May God bless Howard for all the charitable acts and kindnesses he showed us when we worked together.
Uncle Howard, You are loved and will always be missed. Things are not going to be the same without you. We love you always
