John Randall “Randy” Howe passed peacefully from this earthly plane on Wednesday, September 7, 2016.  Born on January 6, 1942 he was the only child of John and Edna (McTaggart) Howe.  Randy as he was known was truly one of Weyburn’s favorite native sons.  From a very early age he did his own dance to the beat of his own drummer.  He excelled at school, was a Honours student, valedictorian, loved sports, and was very musically inclined.  He coached basketball, curled, played golf and threw a bull’s eye dart every time!  He knew everyone and everyone knew him.  He was gentle, easy going, had a winning smile and a twinkle in his eye!  He loved a good party and never said “no” to a tall glass of Barcardi 1873.  Many were the gatherings and campfires where Randy strummed his guitar and sang songs he made up, while his cigarette burned away slowly from the fret of his guitar.  Indeed, he was the life of the gathering, always had a joke to tell and stories to reminisce.  Randy had several careers in Weyburn, the longest being at Dries Bros. Pontiac Buick Dealership.  In August of 2014 he was diagnosed with cancer and was strong and courageous.  We will miss him and remember him fondly.  Farewell, Free Spirit.

Randy was predeceased by his father and mother, John and Edna (McTaggart) Howe.  He is survived by Aunt Tillie, many cousins and a host of close friends.

A Private Interment and a Gathering to Celebrate Randy’s Life will take place at a later date.
