Howard was an inspiration to work with. He loved his work and he was a fountain of knowledge about many things. I enjoyed learning about his piece of South Carolina and all the ways he loved it.

Under the wide and starry sky,
Dig the grave and let me lie.
Glad did I live and gladly die,

And I laid me down with a will.

This be the verse you grave for me:
Here he lies where he longed to be;

Home is the sailor, home from the sea,
And the hunter home from the hill.

Howard Westbury is unique in this world.
