Joe Howard was born in Austin to Howard and Bessie Adare on November

with BISD after retiring from L.C.R.A. He dedicated many hours to the Little
League organization of Bastrop. He also, after fully being retired took on
mowing yards, and was known as Joe's mowing service.

Joe was happiest with his family gathered together and at his deer lease hunting
with his boys. He also looked forward to his "church time" with the First Baptist
