HOWARD, SR. , CHARLES H. "CHARLIE"
80, of North Kingstown, passed away Wednesday, October 16, 2019. He was the beloved husband of Patricia A. (Hoxsie) Howard for 59 years. Charlie served his country honorably in the U.S. Army.  He was a graduate of New England Tech and in 1962 Charlie established Howard's Heating Service in Coventry before moving to North Kingstown in 1972, where he worked until retiring in 2017.

He was a distinguished and founding member of the Little Rhody Model A Club since about 1962.  Charlie received numerous MARC of Excellence Awards.  He was a fine point judge and active in the Model A Restorer’s Club at the Regional and National Level.  His “Number 9” 1931 Closed was the envy of all the Model A enthusiasts.  The Howards included their children and grandchildren when attending many Model A Club events.  Because of this, many of the long time club members remember and embrace this whole family at this sad time.  Several Little Rhody members drove their model A cars in a convoy to the Veteran’s Cemetery in Exeter, Rhode Island in honor of Charlie at the time of his burial service with full military honors.
