y and soon became partners with his Brother-in-law Harvey forming Shupe and Yost Trucking. In 1969 he left Shupe and Yost to form BYCO Sales, partnering with his cousin Earl Berner in the farm and industrial equipment distribution business. A key piece of that business was the creation of the Bycool evaporative air condition system that was designed and built by Max Walker and his son's Bob and Dean (Walker Manufacturing). The Bycool cooler made its way throughout North America and even to Australia. You can still see them on tractors, combines, RV's, and even some homes today.
Howard really loved motor-home travel and was an avid member of the Foretravel Motor Home club. Hauling grandsons and teammates to baseball games, an annual thanksgiving trip to Utah with Cheryl's family to celebrate with Gary's, tailgating at Bronco home games, and consistent golf and cross country trips resulted in wearing out at least 3 of those rolling houses.
Later years saw Howard and Marjory operating H&M Leasing Company. Golf, and the Denver Broncos were also major parts of his life. The Rockies later joined that club. Howard was one of the 1st Bronco season ticket holders in 1963. In addition to golf (especially when Marjory took it up too) he managed an occasional fishing or hunting trip with Bob and grandsons.
Howard loved to sing and had a beautiful base voice. He continued to sing constantly even when he could not remember all the words....but he remained in tune!
Howard was preceded in death by his Parents, E.M. and Emma Yost, Brother's Melvin and Vern, Sister Luella, son Gary, daughter-in-law Sue Nesheim Yost (Gary), and son-in-law Ben Kimble (Carol).
Howard is survived by his wife of 70 years Marjory, children, Bob (Karen) Yost, Cheryl (John) Brubaker & Carol Kimbell, and daughter in-law Barbara (Gary), 16 grandchildren, 23 great-grandchildren and 1 great-great-grandchild - what a legacy!
Best to say who Howard was and what we will always remember about him. He had a great sense of humor, loved to laugh and make others laugh with him. In his later years, his humor was less "retrained" and some pretty shocking things were sometime said - as those who have visited with him recently will attest! When asked how he wanted to be remembered, the first thing he said was, "that I didn't give a rip!" But he also wanted to be remembered for those things that were of most importance to him: in constant love with his wife, devoted to his family, hardworking, dedicated, trustworthy, a man of integrity and character, a friend to pretty much everyone he met, a devoted Christian who now has entered the place where we are all the same age...eternity.
