Obituary for William James Howard
William James Howard
Born June 22, 1930 Lloydminster, Saskatchewan – passed away peacefully February 14, 2021 in Squamish, BC at the age of 90.
Bill was predeceased by his wife Jean in 1999 and is survived by his brother Ted, daughter Diana (Jim) and son Brian. Dad struggled with his health over the last few years but had been a long-time member of the Lions Club, and proud of his affiliation with both the Ambleside-Tiddleycove and Squamish Lions clubs.
Dad worked for many years in West Vancouver where he and Mom owned and operated Howard’s Paint & Wallpaper. Upon retirement they decided to move to Squamish and built their own home there. In his later years Dad enjoyed his trips to Costa Rica, playing softball and golf. He was an avid sports fan, especially the last few years when his health dictated his participation.
The family would like to thank all those who helped Dad, Dr. Melissa Aragon, the ambulatory care nurses at Squamish Hospital and the home care workers who attended to him.
Dad will always be remembered for his love of a good “party” and was usually the last to leave.
Cremation with no service by request.
