Dave's Flower Box – an institution worth keeping – San Diego Downtown News - San Diego Downtown News

Box. Unfortunately, construction of an apartment building poses a threat to the continued survival of Dave’s Flower Box. Located at the corner of Texas Street and El Cajon Boulevard, the owners of the project next door want to eliminate the entrance to their business. Most customers use the El Cajon Boulevard entrance. With only the much smaller Texas Street entrance remaining, it will be difficult to enter the business. Traffic at this intersection is already difficult and undoubtedly will impact the amount of business Dave’s Flower Box will receive. A beloved business like Dave’s Flower Box is one that San Diego needs. Efforts are being made to keep the El Cajon Boulevard entrance. Please support Dave’s Flower Box and their efforts to keep both entrances intact. Their products, staff and longevity make Dave’s Flower Box an institution worth keeping.

James Howland Sr. | Obituary - Rockwall County Herald Banner

On Thursday, March 25, 2021, James Thomas Howland Sr. of Caddo Mills, Texas, passed away at the age of 93. James was born on Jan. 4, 1928, in Annona, Texas, to Roy and Zelma Howland. The son of East Texas sharecroppers, James was the second-oldest of seven children and grew up working the field with his family. He married his wife, Francis, in 1963 and moved to Rockwall, Texas, where they raised three children. James worked as a filling station attendant and then as a machinist at the Rockwall aluminum plant, from which he retired after 30 years of service. On July 28, 1990, he lost his beloved wife after almost 37 years of marriage. Affectionately known as Paw Paw, James' greatest joy was spending time with his large extended family. He enjoyed fishing, watching wrestling and football, mowing, driving his golf cart and, in his later years, even a little reality TV. He loved chicken-fried-chicken and sweets, particularly strawberry yogurt, pronounced with his endearing East Texas drawl. James was a simple man, strong in his Christian faith, and was known to pepper a Thanksgiving prayer with as many "Lords" as possible. James was preceded in death by his parents, wife Francis Howland, son Baby Howland, son-in-law Richard Palczynsky, grandson Steven Palczynsky, great-granddaughter Avery Palczynsky, sister Lucy Vanhoose, and brother Wayne Howland. He is survived by daughter Connie Miller and husband Thomas, daughter Jalana Palczynsky, and son Jamie Howland and wife Lisa, all of Caddo Mills, Texas.
