Phillip left this world on February 10, 2026 at the age of 83, leaving a void in the lives of so many people. Leave a sympathy message to the family in the guestbook on this memorial page of Phillip Ralph Howland to show support.
He was predeceased by: his parents, Ralph Howland and Mary Howland (Hunt); his sister Barbara Britton; and his son David B. Howland. He is survived by: his wife Susan Bella; his daughter Beth "Rana" Kruger (Dan); and his grandson Hunter Newitt.
He navigated the complexities of a brain tumor, both types of diabetes, and (as family would tell) he "beat COVID fifty million times over.".
