My Uncle Howard passed away on Tuesday, July 20, 2010, my grandmother's youngest brother and last surviving of her family. I hope every family has their own version of Uncle Howard; someone who welcomes you with open arms, no matter how long it's been since you've seen him, someone who wants to know, really know how you are doing and if there is anything he can do to help, and you know he means it. I have great childhood memories of visiting with him and my Aunt Mildred, always feeling welcomed and loved. I loved spending time in his yard in Provo, Utah where he had planted and nurtured numerous trees, including some varieties that without his care and attention probably shouldn't have survived in that climate.
He is one of the great men I am privileged to have had a part in my life.
You will be missed.
