So sorry to read this news. Ken's demise is our great loss. He was one of those I dearly would have liked to meet in person.
My sympathy to his survivors.
People who choose to brew up their own storms bitch loudest about the rain.

I'm glad he finally got what he has been wishing for.
R.I.P., Old Friend. I know, he told me he wanted to be with his wife. RIP Mr. Howell

That's great to hear. It seemed to me that he had long been ready to go and be reunited with his wife.
I suspect he's at more peace now than he has been for awhile, but I also suspect he won't be doing much resting.
Congratulations on your graduation, Dr. Howell!

Dr. Howell sent me several essays on how to teach the English language after I mentioned my admiration of his writing. I've used that advice working with teenagers in high school several times and am grateful for his act of kindness.
RIP, Dr. Howell.

Here is a man with insight. Very well spoken (par). How can one lament loss when there is gain? This morning upon opening this thread I brewed up my best cup of coffee. This evening I cracked seal my best bottle of scotch. And I'm enjoying a good cigar, to boot. Prost!

Barak just told me of Ken's passing. He was a strong and courageous man. Barak and I visited him in person in New Mexico several years ago. Praying that he will rest in peace, and be welcomed to Heaven by the wife that he adored, who is waiting there for him.

Enjoy Eternity Ken:
Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glint on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you wake in the morning hush,
I am the swift, uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circling flight.
I am the soft starlight at night.
Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there, I do not sleep.
Do not stand at my grave and cry.
I am not there, I did not die!

RIP Dr. Howell. I enjoyed what he brought to this site. His knowledge and his mindset and character that felt to me like a connection to a different generation.
