  Howard 'Shorty' Akes (1929-2020)

  
  

• Notes

  Howard loved playing music and singing, and when he was able, he enjoyed going to "shindigs". In his younger days, Howard used to race cars at the White Squirrel Speedway, where he was known as the "Roll-Over King". Howard was always working on cars when he was younger. He loved his cat, Miss Kitty, very much, and watched a lot of Westerns. Howard will be missed by all those that knew and loved him.
