Traverse City Record Eagle December 22, 1999 Howard Dwight Coddington Died December 18, 1999 TRAVERSE CITY - Howard Dwight Coddington, 94, passed away Saturday at Tendercare Traverse City after suffering a stroke. He was born Sept. 9, 1905, in Leelanau County to Willet Melvin and Coramae Sophronia (Foote) Coddington. Howard grew up in Traverse City, graduated from Traverse City schools in 1923 and attended Michigan Agricultural College in East Lansing. At his father's request, he returned home to help run the family business, W. M. Coddington and Son - Tanner and Furrier. With strong business acumen he built the business into the leading fur sales and storage establishment of the Traverse City and surrounding region. Today the business is owned by his son, Dwight, and operates under the name Coddington Cleaners. From the early age of five, Howard showed a strong interest in talking pictures and film projection when his mother took him to the Dreamland Theater every Saturday night. In the 1930's and 1940's his interest grew into a summertime business of showing outdoor movies sponsored by merchants in small villages and towns surrounding Traverse City and he became known as "The Picture Show Man." After television came to the forefront, he redirected his interest to movie houses and his lifelong dream of owning a small theater. In 1960 he bought and operated the Elk Rapids Cinema. For 13 years he emphasized and booked films suitable for family entertainment and in cooperation with Northwestern Michigan College he scheduled foreign language speaking films for the benefit of students and others. Other involvements in his younger years included the Lion's Club and First Congregational Church where for many years he was superintendent of the Sunday school. He loved to travel and his wife, Jessie, often jokingly said he had "wanderlust." For over 35 years they spent part of their winters in Florida and traveled in Europe, Mexico and the Caribbean. Howard was a devoted husband and father whose first love was his family. He never failed to help where he was needed, yet he stressed hard work to achieve one's goals.

Preceding him in heath was his wife of 66 years, Jessie Marguerite Sheldon Coddington; two brothers, Hoyt and Homer Coddington of Traverse City; two sisters, Gertrude Fitzmaurice of Traverse City and Clara Sharpe of Howell; and one grandson, David Coddington of Traverse City.
