2006. Howard was born on January 4, 1926. He was the youngest of the six children of Orbra and Florence Roark. Howard grew up on the family farm in Climax Springs, MO. At 17, he left his high school classmates and friends to serve his country in the Army during World War II. Howard worked for 33 years at PIE Truck Lines and retired in 1988. Howard also worked for the Overland Park Police Department for four years as a crossing guard for Rosehill Elementary School. He was a member of the First Baptist Church of Overland Park since 1988, where in the past several years he was the smiling face and strong handshake that greeted his fellow church members and friends. Howard was preceded in death by his parents, brothers Harold, Herbert and Merle.
