    We were very sorrow to hear of Howard’s passing. He loved his
    beloved Betty. He and Betty were such a lovely couple whom we visited at their home many times..
    We were miss him and his love for chocolate when visiting at the Villa.

    Sorry to hear of Howard’s passing. I remember both Howard and Betty from their time spent at the old Exeter Library. I always thought of them as a couple who were really in love.

    Howard was a very sweet man at church and very devoted to Betty when she was ill. He will be at peace now.
    With sympathy Donna and Bill Perry

    Howard was a very nice man. He always had a smile on his face, never said a bad word about anyone. He and Betty used to come to our store for many years.
