Bellflower, CaliforniaHoward Carl Bricker passed away on September 28, 2018, at age 81 surrounded by his family in Los Angeles, California. He was born in Earlham, Iowa to parents, Carl Otis and Doris Irene Robison Bricker.
Howard enlisted in the U.S. Navy in 1956 and after his service he enrolled at Drake University in Des Moines, Iowa. He graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Economics and Business Administration. In 1961, Howard took a job at the Central National Bank in Des Moines, Iowa, where he met his future wife, Noreen Smith. They were married on June 30, 1961. They were blessed with two sons, Aaron Dodd and Andrew Steven in 1962 and 1963, respectively.
Howard accomplished more than most. He worked at the C.I.A. in Langley, VA for four years, and in addition, became an Economist in 1967 with U.S. Department of HUD in San Francisco.
