September 19, 1925 ~ September 13, 2014
Peacefully on September 13, 2014 Howard passed away at the Red River Valley Lodge in Morris, Manitoba.
Howard was born September 19, 1925 at the family farm in Emerson, Manitoba. He married Alice Schwab September 13, 1952 and they lived on the family farm for 38 years. Farming was his life and he enjoyed camping, travelling, wood working and spending winters in warmer climates. When they retired in 1990, they moved to St. Malo. When Howard’s health declined he moved to the Red River Valley Lodge in Morris where he resided for two years.
Howard is survived by his wife Alice of 62 years; daughter Elaine (Larry) Schultz; son Duane (Debbie) and daughter Christine (Tony) Makoweski; his grandchildren: Michelle Schultz, Melanie Schultz and Melanie’s friend Roddy Ward and many nieces and nephews.
Howard was predeceased by his parents Gus and Alvina; brothers: Herman and Bill; Sister Eleanor and step-granddaughter Jessica Makoweski.
We would like to extend a special thank you to the staff at the Red River Valley Lodge for their excellent and compassionate care given to Howard over the last two years.
A service was held on Thursday, September 18, 2014 at 2:00pm at the Emmanuel Lutheran Church (15 – 2nd Street in Emerson) with Pastor Laurel Seyfert officiating.
