How we will miss my dear cousin Howard. I can still feel those big hugs he would so freely give. You were such a rock for our family just two short months ago when we lost our brother Sterling. I made the remark to the family that losing you would sure have affected your good friend/brother Sterling if he was still here ♥️ For each of your family we send our hugs and love for all the tough days ahead , and just remember we are only a phone call away...love you Haha and sweet gentle rest for you xo ❤️

Dear Shelley, Joey, Laurie and family members,
My deepest condolences on the loss of a wonderful husband, father, grandfather, brother and uncle. He was so well-respected in the community and will be missed. You all will have lots and lots of wonderful stories to tell over the coming years that will bring a smile to all your faces. My husband Bob thought so highly of him and considered him a great friend. My grandson, Christopher (Griffith), used to play with his little construction equipment toys and said he was going to be 'just like Howard Burns' when he grew up - (close - he drives a forklift). He knew all the different pieces of equipment - to me they were all backhoes, which he corrected continuously. Howard has left his mark on the community and will never be forgotten. Bobby will meet him in heaven, (don't forget his hat Howard) and they will have many good laughs together. Rest in peace, Howard.
Sincerely,
Bette Parks

My memories of Howard- go back 26 years ago when he started calling me “little Cathy”, of course I wasn’t fond (of the “little”, so he called me “little Jenny” instead! Always a good tease, always up for a good gib gab, and the most loyal sincere friend to my family, and especially my father John.
My heart is so heavy for you all. Please know we are thinking of the family.

The Community has lost Another One of the Good Guys. Howard Burns exemplified the Gift of Hard Work, Family Love and Leadership, setting a Wonderful Example for all of Us to Cherish. A Self Made Man with many Talents, both On and Off the Equipment and Business that Truly was his Passion. Howard, Your Personality, Your Comic Relief, Your Entrepreneurial Spirit, but most of all, Who You Were as a Giving Real Human Being will Never Be Forgotten by Many. I'm Very Happy that I had the Chance to Get To Know You, and Spend Some Time with You over the Years. I will carry those Times and Memories with Me Forever. I offer my sincere Condolences to Shelly, Laurie, Joey, and Family. Rest Well My Friend Howard Burns. May The Angels Fly With You Guiding You and Keeping You Safe for Now and Forever.
