Wolcott – Emil F. Howes of Wolcott, husband of Marie A. (Andria) Howes passed away peacefully on January 20, 2021.

He retired as Personnel director at Scovill/Century Brass and served as a personnel consultant upon retirement.
He was a proud Army veteran in the Fifth Infantry serving in World War II and the Korean War. Emil maintained membership in the VFW Post 1979, and the DAV Chapter. He was a retired member of the Naugatuck Valley Personnel Council where he once served as President, the CT Personnel Association, the American Society for Training and Development, the Waterbury and Wolcott Lions Clubs and the United Way (Board Member). He also served as First Vice President with the Visiting Nurses Association on the Advisory Board, and a part-time instructor at Waterbury State Technical College, and past member of the Waterbury Elks, Lodge 265.
He cherished time spent with family, enjoyed reading, sports, traveling, wintering in Florida with friends and occasional trips to the casino. He was an avid New York Yankees and Giants fan.
