In later life, a stint at Billiards and Snooker in which he won numerous trophies, including a Champion of Champions award for Eight Ball was enjoyed; then a stroke almost ended his career. It was his interest in writing, poetry, and prose that became dearest to his heart. In this medium, Howard found that something that gave his life meaning. He could let himself delve into the mysterious unknown and become his own maestro for planning and diversifying a lifestyle to which he could not in real life, find answers for to fulfill himself. He was able to invent stories that were feasible and varied.
