Howard Wayne Arbogast was born November 4, 1939 in Wayland, Iowa. He was the son of John and Ada (nee turner) Arbogast. He graduated from Wayland High School where he was an athlete, most especially in baseball. On April 29, 1962 in Mt. Pleasant, Howard was united in marriage to Fonda Rae Detrick.
Howard worked briefly at the telephone company in Wayland, at Waters Implement and the Blue Bird Bus Company, both in Mt. Pleasant.

In his younger years, his athletic prowess also allowed him to be very gifted on the dance floor and on the roller skating rink.
