Minister Grange said:

“Howard’s passing will be a big loss to the leadership of track and field in Jamaica. Not only will his skills, knowledge and administrative capabilities be lost to us but the entire world of track and field will be poorer for his passing. Another great son of Jamaican sports has made his departure."
