Elliot Howe was my Fifth Grade teacher at Maeser Elementary School and far and away the best teacher that I ever had. He made a difference in my life and many of his other students. He will live on in our memories.

I wish I could have attended the viewing but I heard the news to late. It was interesting to read all Mr. Howe accomplished in his long life. Your family is in our prayers and we wish you well going through this challenging time. Concentrate on the important things and family needs, let those less important areas slide for awhile.

Elliot was the state specialist for foreign language when I broke into the profession in the 70's. He was capable, skilled, humble, personable, and did much good for the profession. - Randall Lund Mon, 02 Mar 2009 15:52:08 +0100 http://www.olpinmortuary.com/obituaries/118-elliot-castleton-howe#comment-372 Dale and Family, So sorry to hear about the passing of your father. I have such great memories of my younger years at your home. Elliot and Marilyn were always so wonderful. My sympathies are with you at this time.

I felt as though I had lost a second father. I served in the Texas Mission from 1968 to 1970, and during that time I had the privilege of living in the mission home twice, so I came to know President and Sister Howe and their children fairly well. To me you are all angels! Thank you for blessing my life, my family, and the lives of thousands of others. In many ways President Howe was like my own father (who passed away in 2001). He was a true Christian, kind and gentle, but occasionally a little stern when I needed correction. I'm grateful for that. Like my dad, President Howe was remarkably patient and charitable toward my many weaknesses and failings. I will forever be indebted to him for all he taught me. May God bless his memory, and may He bless Sister Howe and each member of the Howe family. Please know that my love and prayers are with each of you.--Elder Andrew Allison - Andrew Allison Sun, 01 Mar 2009 18:08:42 +0100 http://www.olpinmortuary.com/obituaries/118-elliot-castleton-howe#comment-370 I love Pres and Sister Howe. I feel terrible that I won't be able to be at this memorial worship service for my beloved Priesthood Leader. I have been extremely ill this past 2 weeks and am recovering in St. George at the home of my father-in-law. Please know of my love and deep appreciation for all of you for the sacrifice you all, and especially President, made from 1967-1970. My life has not and will never be the same for the expriences that I had in Texas and the love and yes, correction, that came from both Pres. and Sister Howe. I am so grateful for the time that I spent in the mission home getting to know all of you so personally. I shall never forget the Christmas of 1970 that I spent with you all and how kind you were to me. I loved the evening devotionals, the meals, the shopping trips, making bread and cookies and the fun we had. I shall never forget the sacrifice that Pres made when his own parent died while he was serving. I remember him in his office listening to the recording of the service that Sister Howe brought back. If Sister Howe is aware, please tell her that Elder Allphin loves her and appreciates all she and President have done for him. They will always be heros to me. Love to you all, may the Lord bless you abundantly over this next few days and then certainly as the weeks and months come and go. Again, but for this illness I would make whatever sacrifice to come and honor my mentor, friend and beloved Priesthood Leader. Elder Allphin - Michael G. Allphin Sat, 28 Feb 2009 12:35:32 +0100 http://www.olpinmortuary.com/obituaries/118-elliot-castleton-howe#comment-369 Dear Howe family, Sorry to hear of your loss. The late Nancy and I were the same age. May the Lord be with you at this difficult time.

He is a long time friend. Thanks to Alan, who was my nurse, when I had surgery. He was wonderful to me and the family. I was the Timp. Stake Clerk when he served as Bishop in Manila. Our family expresses their love and support to all of you at this special time. May the blessings of Heaven be with you, always. - Bob and Ruth Shoell Sat, 28 Feb 2009 00:54:56 +0100 http://www.olpinmortuary.com/obituaries/118-elliot-castleton-howe#comment-367 Condolences and best wishes at this time of separation. I'm sure President Howe has secured his reward among our Eternal Father's presence. Sister Howe, may all be well and the love and spirit of the Lord comfort you and your family. It was a large chapter of my life to serve as President Howe's Secretary in the Texas Mission. Those memories are still and always will be with me. I became a minor member of your family for a time.

We will always remember all the fun times we had with you and Elliot. We treasure your friendship. May the Lord bless you and your family at this time.

He was a great man with such a strong testimony of the gospel of Jesus Christ. His testimony had a profound affect on me and my testimony. I will always remember him as a man close to his Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. As a young man, I enjoyed many great times at your home listening to stories, laughing with your mom and dad, and seeing the blessings that could be had in a good latter-day saint home. Your dad will be missed here in this mortal life, but I can imagine the wonderful reunion on the other side with those who have gone on before. My prayers and thoughts are with you as you experience the loss of your dad.

My teaching experience until then had only been in other countries, and I was unfamiliar with many aspects of teaching in the USA. Within a year, due to his official duties as Foreign Language Specialist, Elliot came into my professional life. His influence in my own professional development was incalculable. I worked on many local and state committees with Elliot. He was completely devoted to advancing the teaching of foreign languages. During the times we worked together, I grew to know and admire his gentle ways. His smile and laughter were always welcoming. Although a state leader in education, he remained humble and imminently available to all. Although I haven't been in touch with Elliot since his retirement, I have continued to think of him over time. Please accept my sympathy and profound admiration for this gentle leader and kind man.
