Howard was one of the founding members, and the President of the Central Arkansas Two Cylinder Club for many years.

Howard is preceded in death by his wife, Mary Hargis; and his parents.

He is survived by one brother, Cleve Phillips of Heber Springs, Arkansas; one sister, Bernell Stevens (Wilbur) of Searcy, Arkansas; and many nephews, nieces, extended family members, and the many friends from the Central Arkansas Two Cylinder Club and customers from across the United States.
