I know many of you had long-running interactions with Dr. Howard as he and his
wife were outstanding birders and traveled the world seeking them out.
Condolences to those of you close to the Howards out in the far-flung world
like the Bells and others. If anyone is in contact with Tim Williams, former
manager for Buckley Wildlife in Woodford County, please relay this sad into to
them. The link to the funeral home where one may leave a comment for the
family is a the bottom of the obituary. He was a good guy...
