Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
My deepest sympathy in the loss of your love one. Phil 46, 7 will help you receive the peace of God. John 528, 29 assures Jesus will restore life to those who has died. These are wonderful blessings to look forward to knowing your loved one is in God’s memory. Hope this thought brings comfort.
Howard you will be missed !
Go rest high on that mountain.
I don’t know Howard but i do know the feeling of losing someone close to you. I myself lost a brother and a father 1 week apart in feb of 2016. I know that even though it doesn’t bring your loved one back it does feel good to know that someone cares. Your family will be in my prayers. God bless.
My sincere sympathy to Faye, Paul,John and the rest of the family. Howard will always be my bratty 1st cousin. I still see his young face and hear Aunt Hazel fussing at him for his latest transgression. He could give you the model and year for any car you pointed out to him. He loved those model cars. Once his family moved to Florida, we didn’t see each other very often, and as we grew into adults, our lives took us on different paths. I loved him as a young boy and I love him still. Rest in peace, Howard. Go fishing in God’s ocean. Cousin June
Howard, our family will miss you dearly. We’ve known you for about 5 years and have enjoyed getting to talk with you and visit with you. We will be praying for your family and keep you in our thoughts. Thanks for the wise words and for being such a great neighbor. You will be greatly missed.
I’m going to miss you my buddy. We had so much fun together, playing cards, listening to Jimmy Buffet, watching races, eating oysters, arguing about Duke and UNC and going to concerts. You could always make me laugh. I knew this day was coming, but it still doesn’t seem real. You are in a better place.and I will see you again on the other side of the rainbow.
I am so sorry for your loss he was a good neighbor to us on arbor lane but we must go on praying for Howard’s family
I sure am going to miss Howard. His funny wit and his laughter was something else, which I’m going to really miss. Our many talks while you put together the model cars I’ll remember the most. Oh, and our many poker hands we played and you telling me that I didn’t have a poker face. Best buddy in the world and I’ll hold onto my many memories of our crazy times spent with our friends. Rest in Peace my friend. 3 ~ Gail
I met Howard in Florida and lived with him for a couple years in NC. Was headed that way and thought I would look him up. Was surprised he passed, would like to know more if someone would like to write to me. I’ll never forget the weekend at Duck with the van club in the Rompin Rooster he had painted himself. My sympathy to Mrs. Joyner, she used to babysit my daughter.
