top Lyman Howe Memorial Volunteer Award

In 1993 Lyman Howe, an active member of the Knights of Columbus as well as an extraordinary volunteer, died of a heart attack while refereeing basketball in the St. John School Gym. He had willed a sum of money to our Council.

Our Council decided that it would honor Lyman by creating a Memorial Volunteer Award in his honor. Each year the Grand Knight of the Council selects the Knight that he feels most exemplifies the principles of volunteerism that Lyman lived by.

Below is a list of those Knights who over the years have measured up to the standard that was set by Lyman.
