Uniting Our Family for Robert "Ole Bo" Howard's Farewell
Donation protected
Friends and Family,
It is with heavy hearts that we share the news of the passing of our beloved father, Robert “Ole Bo” Howard. Bo, father of 9 and grandfather of 6, was the heart and soul of our family. He was a source of endless joy, laughter, and love to everyone who had the privilege of knowing him. His infectious humor and warm spirit brightened each room he walked into and made every family gathering special. Our daddy was the life of the party and his presence will be incredibly missed.
As we come to terms with this sudden and unexpected loss, we want to ensure that all of our family members, near and far, have the chance to gather and celebrate his life together at his memorial. Our father was cherished by so many, and it is important to us that everyone who loved him has the opportunity to pay their respects and say their final goodbyes. His legacy is one of joy, love, and unity, and we want to celebrate his life by gathering as a family in his honor.
To make this possible, we are reaching out for your support. As a majority of our father’s children, grandchildren, and immediate family live out of state from where services will be taking place, we are seeking to raise funds to cover travel and accommodation expenses so we can attend the memorial and honor our father’s life. Your contribution will help ease the financial burden and allow us to come together during this difficult time.
Any amount, big or small, will make a difference and be deeply appreciated. Your support will not only help us give our father the farewell he deserves but also provide comfort and solace to our family as we navigate this heartbreak. Family was everything to our dad and we believe it is essential to come together as he would have wanted. This gathering is a tribute to his life and a chance for us to support each other during this difficult time.
Thank you for your kindness, generosity, and helping us ensure that our daddy’s memory is celebrated with love and laughter.
With gratitude,
Robert's Children and Family
