Howard was an avid outdoorsman. He was happiest outdoors camping, fishing, boating, hunting and spending time on Lake Sunapee. He loved to teach his sons, nephews and many others how to fish and ride motorcycles. His mechanical ability was unmatched, restoring bicycles, motorcycles, lawn mowers and anything else that needed to be fixed. One of his greatest joys was going to see his son’s basketball games. He enjoyed spending time with his lifelong friend Jimmy Buntzen. Howard saw the good in everyone and wanted the best for all his loved ones.
