Howard Huffaker passed away on August 16, 2021, at the age of 84.  He was the son of the late Andrew and Marie Huffaker.  Howard was born on December 7, 1936 in Monticello, Ky. and grew up with eleven siblings.

He attended Number Two Elementary School and graduated from Wayne County High School.  After graduation, he enrolled in Cumberland College, Williamsburg, Ky, where he was especially interested in Music and Spanish. He also attended Western Kentucky University and the University of Kentucky where he was enrolled in R.O.T.C. Air Force.
