On behalf of the Howell Family, we send our deepest heartfelt sympathies to you all.  Each of us have fond memories of your father.  I, for one, will never forget his never-ending smile and laughter.  With you in spirit and may your hearts rest easier with each loving memory.

He is a great role model for all of us. A great man, father,grandfather, husband.

Our heartfelt condolences on the passing of your Father.  Those we love are never gone, they have temporarily moved on till you meet up again.

A wonderful guy, a great friend to my father (for over 80 years!), a great loss but perhaps our fathers are in heaven having a grand old time re-living all of their grand old times!  You all will be in our thoughts and prayers.

Mr. Rankin was truly blessed in this life with a wonderful wife and amazing children. Surely God blessed him again when He called him home. Comfort and love each other and may the peace of the Lord be with you now.

Thoughts and prayers are sent to the whole family.   He is remembered fondly by me, and I know their will be a emptiness in your family.   Nicole and Mary my love is sent to you and your all The Rankin family.    Nancy "Mott"
