    Raymond "Skipper" M. Howard

    January 14, 1941 - December 24, 2020

    Colonie-Raymond “Skipper” M. Howard, 79, entered Eternal Life Thursday, December 24, 2020 at St. Peter’s Hospital. Born in Albany, he was the beloved son of Raymond and Margaret Simpson Howard. Skip worked for over twenty years for Coca Cola company. He enjoyed fishing and travel. Skip was a very loyal and loving brother and friend. He had the Howard stubborn streak, but this served him well in remaining independent as he aged. Skip had a strong faith and enjoyed reading his Bible daily and often spent hours studying it. With this foundation he could be counted on to think of others before himself, and will be missed by all that knew him. Skip was always very generous in giving to wounded veterans and animal charities. He was the dear brother of Robert “Bob” B. Howard, Dennis R. Howard, Walter D. Howard and the late Charles Howard and Linda Higgins. Several niece, nephews and friends survive. Relatives and friends are invited to visit the funeral home Wednesday, December 30, 2020 12:00 pm to 1:00 pm and remain for his Funeral Service at 1:00 pm. Please only enter the funeral home from the rear parking lot doorway; masks and social distancing are required; and a total of 40 visitors will be allowed in the funeral home. The Rite of Committal will be held at St. Agnes Cemetery, Menands, NY immediately following the Funeral Service. Those wishing to remember Skipper in a special way may send a contribution to the Peter G. Foundation, 134 Franklin Street, Albany, NY 12202.
