Howard, was devoted loving father, who adored
Brookie and Tanner.
I had conversations with Howard where he was so proud, as he talked to me about Brooke as our daughters are friends and went to school together. My deepest sympathies to The Natal family.
May comfort be found in all the love and great memories you had.

There are not a lot of people I have ever met who like such a Scotch as Laphroaig! And Howard always tried hard as he could to get people to try it.

You will be missed my friend!

As children, Howard was a big presence in my life. He was always a friendly boy, smart and fun. Although we drifted apart as we got older, he remained, in my eyes, a nice guy, the boy next door (or in my case the boy two streets over), kind and caring. My heart hurts for his family and all those whose lives he touched. May you Rest In Peace Howie, you really were a good guy.
