Howard was a loving husband and friend. He was an affectionate and faithful husband to his wife Thelma for 46 years. Howard was a man of strong faith and was very proud of his Catholic heritage. He was an avid animal lover and loved to feed the squirrels and birds. He was passionate about clocks and loved to work on old railroad pocket watches and clocks. He loved the outdoors where he enjoyed gardening, target practicing, but most of all, spending time at his camp on Toledo Bend Reservoir where he camped and fished. He worked hard driving his own truck to provide for himself and his wife. Howard enjoyed friendship and loved riding around his neighborhood and visiting all his friends and neighbors. He was a kind and caring person and will be unconditionally loved and forever missed by all who knew him.

Those left to cherish Howard's memory include his wife, Thelma Pitre of Orange, TX.

Howard is preceded in death by his parents Finest and Estel Pitre; one son, Kurt Pitre; and one sister, Wanda Pitre.
