Howard served our nation faithfully as a member of the United States Marines. He was a mechanic in the oil field and was known for being able to fix anything! He loved fishing, camping on the river, his boat, country music, his Jeep, his man cave with pool table and big TV that he watched Cowboys & Westerns on, and all of his many tools.
