George W. Howard, 95, of Manchester, loving father and devoted husband of almost 65 years to the late Kathryn (Charant) Howard, died peacefully on Monday, March 21, 2016 surrounded by his loving family. George was born on January 24, 1921 in Middlebury, VT, a son of the late Mae Vasseur. George was raised in Burlington, VT, or as he referred to it; God’s Country. He eventually moved to Springfield, MA with his mother and brothers and graduated from the former Springfield Trade School. As a young man he moved to New York City where he was employed as a theater manager. It was there he met and married his sweetheart, Kathryn. Shortly after the birth of their two eldest daughters they moved to Hazardville, CT and raised their seven children. George began his career as a tool and die maker, retiring as a manager from the Stanadyne Corp. George was happiest when surrounded by his family, whether it be watching his beloved Patriots, Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy, enjoying cookouts, holidays, or having a cocktail while reminiscing about the good old days. One of the happiest moments in his life was getting to see his Red Sox finally win not one but three World Series. He proudly wore his Bruins Stanley Cup hat everywhere he went. George was quite the character. His sense of humor, witty comebacks and outgoing personality allowed him to make friends wherever he went.
