Obituary of
Howard, John Malcolm
John (Jack) Malcolm Howard, 83 of Carrollton, Texas, passed away, Saturday, December 19, 2020.
Jack was born February 4, 1937, in St. Petersburg, Florida to Francis and Dorothy (Palmer) Howard. His family moved to Charlotte, North Carolina, around 1948. After a move to Jamestown, North Carolina, he attended high school, where he left to become a newspaper printer for the High Point Enterprise. Jack also served in the National Guard from 1954-1960. During 1960, he met the love of his life, Regina Elizabeth Hinshaw, on a blind date, and they were married on July 7, 1961. They raised a family of four wonderful children, and celebrated 59 years of marriage.
In 1979, a major life event happened while Jack was working for ITEK Graphics (AB Dick Company). His position of servicing printing machines was being transferred to Dallas, Texas. So, he moved his family to a house in Carrollton, Texas, where they have lived for 42 years. He continued to work as a printer technician until his retirement in 1996. Jack enjoyed time spent with family and friends at their lake house on Lake Texoma, built and maintained his backyard Koi pond, watched NASCAR, played golf, was a car enthusiast, tinkered with CB radios, liked to draw, wrote poetry, and collected things.
Jack is survived by his wife, Regina (Hinshaw) Howard; sons, David and Marjorie (Nolan) Howard, and Timothy Howard; daughters, Susan and Michael Thomas, and Tina Howard; brothers, Daniel and Phyllis (Carpenito) Howard, and James Howard; sister-in-law, Linda (Weaver) Howard; ex-sister-in-law, Carolyn (Miller) Howard; 8 grandchildren; 9 great-grandchildren; and many nieces and nephews. Jack was preceded in death by his parents and 2 brothers, Terrence Howard and William Howard.
The Howard family would like to give a special thank you to the people at Oxford Glen Memory Care in Carrollton for providing great care and support to “Pop” during his valiant three year battle with Parkinson’s disease with dementia.
