Howard struck out on his own in his late teens, learned the drywall installation trade, moved to the west from Illinois where, following the urging of his free spirit, he worked in Nevada, Colorado and Texas, before finally settling in Show Low, Arizona. While Howie enjoyed his drywall trade, he was an avid fisherman and his work schedule often depended on when and were biting, much to the chagrin of some of his employers. Others sometimes joined him. A very likable man, Howie has left behind a host of family members and friends who will miss him very much. Happy fishing Howie.
