Bummer.
I'm not sorry for Ken, because I know the good ones all go to a better place. However, my day just got quite a bit darker.
I'll go shake the rattle in his direction.

RIP Dr. Howell and my sincere condolences to his family.
While I am saddened that he's passed and will miss his writings here, I am at the same time glad that he is now with his beloved Carol Ann, and gets to wander the happy hunting grounds with Qtip, M Colemam, Eddy Bo and a host of others who have left us.

Ken was a very talented man, well read, creative and passionate about his interests. He sincerely was a friend to all, even to his most venemous foes to whom he always had an olive beach to extend. Yes, he was less than than perfect, he could wallow in self pity on bad days, but at the same time was a champion of the written word and of our Lord.
Ken certainly became a long distant friend of mine. He had words of encouragement and praise for my daughter in her studies and career, and made sure that I got to know one of his best Navy buddies who lives near me
I'll miss Ken, but am comforted in knowing his faith comforted him, and he is reunited with his love.
I suppose he would be pleased if I quoted Robert Louis Stevenson on his behalf

And the hunter from the hill[i]
God bless you and keep you in his arms my friend.

Condolences to those effected by his passing. RIP

The next MRC build should be the 416 Howell with a nice tribute on the barrel to Dr. Howell.

Drat. Skywards I hope No need to hope. We all know. KNOW! Rick is probably already working on it. A new forum title (well above the basement, mind) if not may I suggest. All Ken's writings. Everything you can get your hands on. Reloading to religion. Grammer to syntax. Hunting stories to talk of his dearly missed beloved. Everything in between... and beyond. Start a new forum topic. No posting allowed. Just read and enjoy or go read something else. This man deserves to be honored. Get busy, Rick, please, if you already aren't. Thank you.

In his own words from nearly three years ago. NOTED QUEMADO AUTHOR PASSES AWAY
QUEMADO February 15 � Ken Howell, 82, noted local author and raconteur, died of apparent natural causes at his Quemado residence Wednesday night, apparently peacefully in his sleep during the night, according to Quemado Police Department media representative Edithe Fantasia-Ephemera. No investigation is planned, according to Fantasia-Ephemera. Preliminary examination of Howell�s residence has revealed no suicide note and no evidence of drug abuse or foul play, Fantasia-Ephemera said.
Howell was transported by Quemado Fire Department ambulance to Quemado Regional Medical Center emergency room Thursday morning, where he was pronounced dead on arrival (DOA). Coroner�s spokesman Dr Mudd E Noggin informed the Myth-Legend that preliminary examination revealed no apparent indication of foul play. No autopsy is planned, Noggin said. Howell had been suffering from general physical decline for several years, according to Quemado Regional Medical Center spokespersons who spoke on condition of anonymity. Neighbors said that Howell always appeared in good spirits, with a ready smile and entertaining stories for his many visitors.
Howell was internationally renowned as the author of several books on a wide variety of technical subjects and an internationally respected technical and forensic expert on firearms.
Howell was the subject of a lengthy Myth-Legend interview and article in January, 2012, on the subject of his controversial analysis of �The Intricate Simplicities in the English Translations of the New Testament.�
Howell�s body was discovered by utilities repairmen who declined to be interviewed and requested anonymity.Just got a new word-processor and have been having fun with a bit of throw-away blarney. (Just a little bit o' nil to add a tad of sparkle to a dull day!) Thought that maybe a few at the 'fire might like to play with this, too. Have a ball, y'all!  I had forgotten about that IB, While I didn't think it funny at the time it actually was quite funny.

Dangit. I never met the man but really enjoyed reading him on here. I still have a copy of his "Make Every Word Tell" word document that he offered up here years ago. I waive it around to our technical staff when they need some coaching in technical writing.
Hat tip to a life well-lived.

I believe this was his last post.
"My former father-in-law was a medical
missionary in China, 1921–1949. After
the defeat of Japan, he had occasion
to treat a Japanese major who'd tried
to commit hara kiri with his ritual
dagger but was too fat to stab and
slash deep enough to reach any vital
organ. The officer was screaming for
help when Dr Colberg got to him.

I only knew Ken by his writings and a couple of PM's from him here on the 'Fire. I think he was more than ready to for his next chapter.
