Patrick Hugh Howard passed away on November 20, 2022, with his family at his side. His 55 years were a mixture of cancer surgeries, treatment, infections, hospital stays, and slow, incomplete recoveries coupled with long stretches filled with the delight and fun of many deep friendships, travel, outdoor adventures, and his chosen work path with Kimberly, Tirey & St. John, and Fishermans Landing.
He is finally at a well-earned peace.
His mother, Maggie Herlihy, his step-father, Mike Herlihy, and his father, Pat, were blessed to be his parents. We couldn’t control his failing health but marveled at his bravery as he endured the medical issues, his killer sense of humor, his knowledge and skill in sport fishing, birds, all animals great and small, astronomy, and weather.
Patrick was an avid cook, especially when sharing with others. He was a great and loyal friend to many, and they, in turn, to him.
