I just heard and we are so sorry to hear. With us all being in Wisconsin now, it takes a while to get sad news. We all have many memories of Howard. My favorite one is of course asking him to sing at my wedding after I heard him sing when I was about 10 years old at someones wedding and when I did get married--(at 24) he was right their! Such a wonderful voice! Rest in peace Howard and we will see you again some day. Judy, Kim and Butch and extended family-hold tight to the memories--they will get you thru until it's our time. Just remember--its not goodbye--it's see you later. Love to all of you. Dave and Lori (Cook) Smith and all the Cooks

He will be missed, I remember many good time with Howard, at school and at band , Ill see you again my friend Thank you Howard

Will miss you Howard but know that my memories of us growing up will never fade. I know you are healed and singing with the angels now. God has you in his arms, peace cousin, until we meet again.
