Howard's first job was at age 6 selling corn cobs door-to-door from his wagon to Clinton housewives to use to start their wood burning stoves. It meant a lot to him that he was always able to find work - including farming, stock boy, building, roofing, and he retired from Tecumseh Products after 34 years. He loved country music, woodworking, square dancing, camping, and living on his parents' farm. But, most of all, he loved his family.
