<div itemprop="description">The jovial, charismatic, kind-spirited and loving man known affectionately by his relatives and friends as Cosy, was born as Lionel Owen Howell in Guyana on August 18, 1944 as the fourth of 15 children of Leonard and Clementina Howell, both of whom are deceased. <br /> <br />He received his early education in Guyana and began his professional life, serving most notably as a Math and Geography teacher, and also debating coach at Victoria High School in New Amsterdam before migrating to Canada in 1970, where he completed his higher education and worked as an engineer with Bell Canada until his retirement. <br /> <br /> Two gracious threads run through the fabric of his entire life &ndash; love for God and love for people. One of his favorite saying was &quot;The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched, instead they are felt with the heart.&rdquo; <br /> <br />The Good Book says &ldquo;The days of our lives are three score years and ten.&rdquo; Well, God graciously gave Cozy an extra one year, and called him to rest on August 25, 2015. <br /> <br />A man can leave no better legacy than a strong family. Cosy has left such a legacy in his biological family and his social family of friends and relatives. <br /> <br />He was: Father to Marcel (Gary), Lionel (Michelle), Beverley, Stacey, De Anita, Dolwin, Dale, Cory, Shennel (Andrew), Jonathan, Kirt (Ashley). <br /> <br />Brother to Carol, Shirley (David), Enid, Lennox (Brenda), Norma (George), Desiree (Micheal), Jean, Joan (Deceased), Reynold, Pansy (Alexis), Leonard, Denise, Dennis, Aubrey (Deceased). <br /> <br />Grandfather to Amanda, Gabrielle, Nathanial, Genelle, Olivia, Germaine, Sasha, Siara, Priscilla, Aliyah, Kurtis. <br /> <br />He will be greatly missed by an innumerable host of relatives of friends. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />May he rest in peace.</div>
