Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
I first met Howard when we worked on the Amunition Plant in Parsons, Ks. He was always enjoyable to be around. Later when we were both back in the Wichita office, I enjoyed working with him and he was pleasant just to be around. My daughter in law, Sue Hunt, worked as his secretary and she said he was always a great boss. After retirement we often met at the retirees breakfasts at Spears. I also vitited with Howard in his shop in northwest Wichita.
No words can express Howards love of life and for those who made up his family and friends. He leaves all behind as well as the many structures he built during his lifetime as a member of the EBY organization. Our lives are richer as a result of his love.
May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief. God Bless
Howard was one of a kind. I will miss him dearly. My thoughts and prayers are with you Virginia and with your family.
Harwood, I am sorry to read of your Grandfather’s death.
