Clyde Howell of Howell Shooting Club Passed
Waterman, IL –-(AmmoLand.com)- For those of you who have not heard, Clyde Howell passed away yesterday afternoon. There will be service for him Thursday, February 18th at 2:00 p.m. at Plattville United Methodist on the corner of Church and Plattville Roads just off Chicago Avenue. It’s a beautiful, quaint church with a steeple; you can’t miss it.
As you know the shooting and hunting sports have lost a great, great supporter. Literally thousands of adults and young people have learned to shoot on Clyde & Yvonne’s farm over the past 50+ years. Who else would have made their home open to thousands of strangers to give them the opportunity to learn about this sport we love?
At this summer’s camp we would have celebrated Clyde’s 95th birthday. Let’s turn out on Thursday to celebrate his life. It would be most fitting for as many people as possible to show up for the service to see off a gentleman who spent his entire life supporting what we love to do. And I know it would be most comforting for Yvonne to know so many of their friends were there to see him off and comfort her.
This message is forwarded from an Aurora Sportsmen’s Club alert.
