Howard graduated from Turkey Run High School in 1963 where he played intramural basketball and ran cross country. He worked as a carpenter for several years after high school before hiring on at R.R.

In his spare time, Howard hunted, fished, read, and played cards. He was fond of movies, particularly Westerns. Howard enjoyed watching basketball, football, and baseball and appreciated the music of Nat King Cole, the Rolling Stones, Bill Withers, and Patti Page.
