I will miss Uncle Howard loved being around him and the get together we had.He was so funny he was always making people laugh never a dull moment when he was around.if u were having a bad day he would make it better.Love u Uncle Howard u will be missed
My deepest condolences for Diane and family. Howard was a wonderful man. I really missed being around y’all. Being abound Howard for any amount of time made it virtually impossible not to laugh or be in a better mood than when you talked to him. I loved aggravating him about his volunteers; I’ve never been a fan of Tennessee football but I was a huge fan of Howard. I hate I will not get to make it to the service but know that you all are in my prayers and I pray Gods grace and peace be with y’all.
Heaven just got a bit brighter when Jesus welcomes Howard home.
God bless,
Michael Baxley
