Howard retired from Colwell Systems after 23 years as a paper cutter. He also worked at Casey’s for 10 years making dough. Howard was a member of the Church of Christ. He served in the Marine Corp during Vietnam. Howard enjoyed fishing, riding around town in his golf cart and mostly sitting on his front porch waving to the passing cars.
