Thomas W. Howard

Thomas W. Howard of Saint Louis, Missouri, passed away Monday, April 15, 2019, at the age of 76.  He is the loving husband of 52 years to Linda Howard (nee Bellah); beloved son of the late Joe Henry and Dorothy Howard; devoted father of Deanna (Kirk) King and Brenda (Michael) Mohr; cherished grandfather of Zachary Mohr, Bradley Mohr, Sarah Mohr, and Sydney Mohr; and dear brother of Franklin Howard, Henry Howard, and Don (Royce) Howard.

Tom, a dedicated worker in the automotive industry, retired after more than 30 years with Ford Motor Company.  He enjoyed relaxing at the beach and looked forward to family vacations at Myrtle Beach.  He was a billiards enthusiast and could be found running the table with any opponent who dared to challenge him.  He was an avid St. Louis Cardinals baseball fan, and he always enjoyed watching Blues hockey so could wear his favorite jacket given to him by his daughters.

Tom was an incredibly selfless man who did everything for his family and was always there for them.  He was fun-loving and had a great sense of humor, which allowed him to be the center of attention and make everyone laugh.  Tom was dearly loved and will be greatly missed by everyone who knew him.

Memorial contributions may be made in Tom’s name to the COPD Foundation.
