Condolence: You will never hear an unkind or negative comment about Howie. Everyone I've spoken to this week remembers how sincerely "NICE" he was and that is how I will remember him!.

Condolence: Howard & I started our security businesses about the same time many years ago. We have worked together on occasion during that time and although we were not the kind of friends that hung out together, I always considered him a good friend over the years. It was always good seeing him whether it was meeting at Alarmax or running into him around town. He always had a smile on his face, a unique sense of humor and was a genuine down to earth person. He had a warm personality and it is my pleasure to call him a friend. My condolences to the family. I know Howard was a good family man and will not only be missed by them but by many others who were blessed to know him over the years. R.I.P. old friend.

Condolence: I am so sad and so sorry. I can still see Mr. Howard walking Frisco up Reynolds Rd. My love and thoughts are with you all.

Condolence: Judy, John and I were sorry to hear about Howard.We want to express our sympathy to you, Angie, Scott and Aaron. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Condolence: Howard "Elvis" Beard - one of the good guys. We met in 1st grade. Always the jokester. Kind - never a harsh word for anyone. Gone but definitely not forgotten. You will truly be missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing you. My thoughts and prayers go out to your family. Sharon (Hoffmeister) Metzbower

Condolence: Howard was a truly compelling character, a steadfast friend and kind man with a wry and unique sense of humor. He dearly loved his family and took pride in his upbringing. He had that rare combination of down to earth friendliness and sense of self that made him welcome anywhere. My friends and I, all of whom admired Howard for the good man he was, are at an utter loss. God bless Howie, we will miss you evermore. Yer old mate, Dave Lovato
