Living several hours away from family surely has its disadvantages. We miss out on daily life, on special events and the closeness that comes with being in a close vacinity of one another. But it has a special way of helping us to hold on to memories of time well spent with our loved ones. I will always remember Uncle Howard being kind, smiling, and offering big hugs when he saw you. He was a good soul and will surely be missed by many. Many prayers are being sent to our loved ones in Savannah! We love you all

Howard was one of the best people I have ever met. He was a great friend. He was always kind to everyone and treated everyone like his friend. I miss him more than I can say. His death has left a void in this world than can never be filled.
Truly one of the last of a dying breed, a Southern gentleman, soft spoken and kind to his very core. May your wonderful memories of him comfort you Ann and all his family and friends during this difficult time.
