His interests ranged from motorcycle mechanics to gunsmithing. His competitive spirit led him to powerlifting where he set state, national and world records.

His passion was being outdoors. He bred horses, raised cattle. He loved wild life viewing "hunting" especially on his own land, The Circle B.

Howard was a wise and gentle man with a good sense of humor. He always put other people's needs first. He leaves us with many rich memories. He will be missed.
