Claude Diamond J.D. wrote a sympathy message

“Howard always spoke his mind and didn't pull any punches. So refreshing to always get an honest answer. He was a wonderful Lions Club and community member and one of the greatest generation. I remember when he bought his first Caddy and kept asking me about our model. He loved that car. Howard had a great sense of humor and could always make me smile. He was one of the good guys. Miss you buddy Claude and Claudia”

John Erwin wrote a sympathy message

“Howard was a great friend and golf buddy. I loved that he and I were some of the worst golfers at Pole Creek but we loved playing together in regular outings and Lions Tournaments. Laura you had one very special father. He was always there to volunteer for lions project late into his life. He was one of my best new friends when I joined Lions and we enjoyed telling Navy stories to each other although his rank was far above mine. Know that you are very much in our thoughts at this time.
