Our thoughts and prayers are with the Howe family at this time. Bud was a great neighbor and very funny. Everytime he spoke of his grandchildren he would have a special sparkle in his eye and a beautiful smile. Bud, we were blessed to have known you and Heaven is blessed to have you.

Bud was like I father to me. I will truly miss him. He was a great coach but even a better person. I will always be able to tell a Bud story and have a smile on my face. Our deepest regrets to the entire Howe family.
