Man am I gonna miss “Howie Stories”, they rank right up there with “Billy Stories”!! And I’m also going to miss Howie giving you a hard time when we were on the phone, Brenda! If you get missing him harassing you, be sure to give a call… I can probably harass you for a while – not as good as Howie though. There’s no one in the world like Howie. He will be missed by all of you, all of us, HyVee deli, Arby’s, Culver’s, Aldi’s (they may not have to restock their peach wine for a while now), etc 😉 Love and hugs to all of you! ❤️
So very sorry for your loss. He was the greatest at getting you going Brenda. I will miss your bantering sessions with each other, but you still have the memories to hold on to.
Howie Family
You are in my Prayers & Thoughts. He lived a good life and you have a lot of memories of a well
lived life.
