                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. BRETT GUTHRIE

                              of kentucky

                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, October 15, 2009

  Mr. GUTHRIE. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Former Daviess 
Circuit Judge Garland Howard, a true Kentuckian. Mr. Howard is well-
known in the Owensboro community as a valued leader, visionary and 
hard-worker.
  Mr. Howard, who had been Daviess County Master Commissioner since 
1985, was appointed to the circuit judgeship by Governor Paul Patton in 
1995.
  His passion and love for the Ohio River was expressed through his 
development projects, which inspired and led the way for growth and 
expansion in Owensboro.
  Even though Mr. Howard gave so much of himself to his community, the 
love he gave to his wife Mary Ann and to his children was unparalleled. 
Mr. Howard passed away on October 7, 2009. Our thoughts and prayers are 
with the entire Howard family.
  Garland Howard will forever be remembered by the amazing legacy he 
leaves behind through the lives he touched, the projects he created and 
the children who he taught by example to be community leaders in their 
own right.
