After his military service, he resumed his career and began attending Riverside Baptist Church. It was here that he met Jill, who became the love of his life and then his wife in 1955. During his career Howard also performed duties for the churches he attended as a deacon and a Sunday school teacher. In 1992 Howard retired to enjoy his well-earned retirement. He spent these years with his greatest comforts: music, reading, good meals, and his loving wife.
