    Sgt Howard as I knew him by, recuited me from high school (1977) into the Army as an Army Apprentice, I was 15 years old. Then in 1979 he became my Platoon Sergeant at the Army Apprentice School Balcombe.

    These two events touched my life and put a naive country kid on the path to becoming the man I am today. I am sure that there are so many more people out there who was touched by this great man.

    Stand down soldier,
    Your mission is done,
    The danger over
    There’s no need to run,
    You were trained well,
    To obey each demand,
    So take this and heed,
    This final command,
    Rest your body,
    close your eyes,
    As we weep the loss,
    When a good soldier dies,
    Bask in peace,
    that you can enjoy,
    Embrace it for us,
    Let it too be our joy,
    The life you have lived,
    will constantly remind,
    And bring on a smile,
    to those you leave behind,
    We thank you for your serving,
    Your loyalty stood true,
    And hope someday,
    we will meet up with you.

    Rest in Peace John
