Howard Hoverson was born May 22, 1927 in Albert Lea the son of Henry and Grace (Nagel) Hoverson. He loved hunting and fishing and took yearly trips up north. Howard lived in the house his father built for his entire life, farming the land which was homesteaded by his family until he retired. He served as a medic in the U.S. Army and was a devout member of Round Prairie Lutheran Church. Howard had a dry sense of humor and loved to tinker. He was a loyal son, brother and uncle. He gave great hugs and always had a smile. We will miss him very much.
Survivors include his sister, Helen (Hoverson) Dagestad, his sister-in-law, Leona Hoverson and many nieces and nephews and his 16 year old dog Tippy.
Howard was preceded in death by his parents, his brother, Arlen (Duck) Hoverson and his stepfather, Rueben Sorbo.
It is our hope that they are in Heaven together, playing cards, while Grandma Grace is playing her accordion and doing a polka.
