The son of Annie Woodell and Daniel Jarvis, he was born on May 13, 1930 in Claremont, NH. Howard served his country with honors in the US Army during the Occupation of Japan and Korean War. He was a retired Data Processing Manager for a small insurance company. Mr. Jarvis was a member of the VFW Post 3880 Lake Placid where he served as both Quartermaster and Service Officer for several years. He was a member of the Catholic faith.
In his younger years, Howard enjoyed fishing, hunting and snowmobiling and later on enjoyed cards and computer games. While living in Windsor, MA, he was the Fundraiser for the Volunteer Fire Department. Howard loved spending time with family and friends and telling stories.
He is preceded in death by his parents, three brothers, his son Darrell who passed away in 1982 and a grandson, also Darrell, who passed away in 1998 as a newborn. He is survived by his loving wife of 61 years Rosella; children, Roxanna Loveday (Stan), Peter Jarvis (Liz), Vicki DuBois, Sherri Thompson (Fred), Tami Hoag, and Yvonne Jarvis; 10 grandchildren and 14 great-grandchildren.

Sherri Thompson of Williamstown, MA wrote on Sep. 9, 2015:I hold close in my heart the walks to Wahconah Park to see the Red Sox games. Dad always had someone to talk with during the game. I never knew, or even thought about, what he could possibly have so much to talk about, but now I realize it didn't matter, it was about being friendly to others. I find myself many times greeting complete strangers and having a short conversation with them about, well, anything that came to mind, and I find myself thinking of dad. I love you, dad, and will cherish these, and so many more, great memories. Please say hi to everyone for me.
