Howard was an avid horseman in his younger days. He enjoyed competitive calf roping in rodeos and was also a member of the Davis County Mounted Sheriff''s Posse for many years.

His most astounding qualities were his sense of humor, his sparkling eyes, unbridled generosity, work ethic, and his unbounded optimism. Howard NEVER complained about anything or spoke ill of anyone.
