I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Howard was a regular visiting our house, whether he was fishing or just hashing out the world problems with my husband, Tony. There were times they didn't agree! Howard's garden fed many people through the years and I always loved seeing his produce for sale sign go up.
A good man.. May God comfort you all and may he rest in peace... Charlotte Huckabay
