Howie was a strong, kind, caring and loving partner, father, son, brother, and friend.  He was always happy and loved to joke around with everyone. Wherever he was, you could always hear his laughter echoing through the place. 

Howie opened his home to many and gave some a place to call home; there was no shortage of love and laughter in Howie's home. He worked long hours driving truck in the mines but always made time for his beloved family of which his world revolved around.
