Howard left home at the tender age of twelve to make a life for himself.  By the age of 23, he married the love of his life, Beatrice (Bezanson) and they had two children. Howard was an extremely hard worker and held positions at a pulp wood mill before becoming a full-time employee with Larsens Packers Ltd., he remained with Larsens until his retirement in 1992. Every summer, his passion for farming and tending his vegetable gardens, allowed him to run his produce stand.

When Howard had some time to spare, he would enjoy hunting, card games, camping, bluegrass festival with Bea, watching hockey, baseball, Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy on the T.V.

Even though Howard was a hard worker, he would always make sure he made the time to help his family and friends whenever they were in need.
