Extremely sad news. Howdy was (and probably will always remain) my favorite airshow announcer and I will sorely miss his voice at Schultz shows.

Wow, this is terrible news.
I heard the news from a mutual friend and while I didn't know Howdy, I felt like I did when I was at an airshow he announced. My fiancée and I were at three airshows last year that he announced and we really enjoyed hearing him; this is in addition to the countless airshows I went to across the mid-Atlantic.
We were looking forward to hearing him at three or four airshows this year and now it makes me want to hit up a few additional shows he was to announce just to pay tribute. From what our mutual friend said, it's going to be really difficult to succeed Howdy.

Schultz Airshows confirmed on their Facebook page that the services for Howdy have been announced by his family.

That's sad to hear. Ellsworth last year was the first show I heard him and I really enjoyed his announcing.
