In loving memory of a great father husband, brother, grandfather,and friend. He lived his life helping family and friends. He was first and foremost a family man who spent his life woking to support his family and making sure that they could live a better life. He loved each and every one of his children dearly. He spent the first part of his life in the U.S. Navy where he was a golden glove boxer and a First Mate to the Admiral on many ships. He went on to follow in his father's footsteps becoming part of the Masonic Order and the Shriners. He helped others in need. He always reminded us that there was someone else who is less fortunate than us and it was important to remember that loving each other and those around us is important in life. Lift others up whenever possible and don't expect anything in return. Honor was very important to him. It was not a word, it was a part of life. He instilled the same values in every one of his children expressing the importance of family, friends, and integrity. He was a successful man in business he worked countless hours to ensure that he was able to keep food on the table every night for his family and many employees so they could support their families. It was never about him it was everyone else. He loved to spend a lot of his free time with his family and fishing. It was a way for him to relax and take in what nature had to offer. He loved the outdoors. He enjoyed his cars. He had many hotrods that he loved to take to charity events and shows so he could spend time with others. He would open the doors and tell them to go ahead and enjoy the moment. He loved to see the smiles on other faces. It made him smile and feel good inside that he could make someone else's day. He would open his pocket book to help or just pay for their meal so they could have a better day and not go without. His heart was bigger than most could ever imagine.
We all know that he was a GREAT MAN who has passed away unexpectedly. He is now comforted by his Heavenly Father and all those who preceded him to this day.

In Loving Memory
My dear brother you are going to be missed by Duff, Lee, Jeff, Randy,Karen and all of our children,Grand children etc, because you have been our family for over 6 decades. We love you dearly and didn't think last month when you came to mom's funeral that we would be going to yours. Never thought this could happen? Our memories of you will always be there and our love for you will be there everyday untill we meet again. I know mom and dad met you and welcomed you, hugged you, and I know our mom teased you like she did here on earth calling out your nickname Howard after Hughes. We had plans on fishing this summer with you, and spending time with you and Laura and that was needed for old time memories. I know brother Lee will miss you as you have been together a long time as best friends, brothers, and always together in heart and soul. Love you and will miss you, and till we are together again RIP

Look for a paper card from me via snail mail. I will miss swapping stories with Dave Brundle -- He shared some interesting community development stories from before I was born. I rendered building drawings for him, valuable experience for me. Happy trails, Dave!

Lucky: what happened I thought you were going to outlast me. It seems like just the other day we were room mates & you brought your new wife home. By the way it was your turn to buy lunch I wish I could collect.
