Charles (Chuck) Einar Howes, 59, of Holliston passed away the morning of Sunday, June 13th during a bicycle ride in Virginia.

Chuck was born July 19th, 1950 in Evanston, Illinois, to parents John C. and Ina Olson Howes. Chuck grew up with brothers Scott and William and sister Marci throughout the mid-west. He graduated from Indiana University with a B.A. in English in 1975. Chuck spent 3 years in the Navy during the Vietnam War prior to graduating college.

Chuck is survived by wife Valerie, sons Nathan, Matthew, Eric, and daughter Ellen.
