Howard has been a very dear friend. I remember when we were all in Florida and I was helping you pick out your groceries in the beautiful health store! Also the many times I heard your fabulous laughter. Hopefully, you and Marshall have already met up and are together again.

Howard, I feel blessed to have had you in my life these past years. The songs you serenaded me with, the football bantering and bets and just daily chitchat will be so missed. May you rest in peace in that big golf course in the sky!!Goody and the kid

I am so sorry to learn about Howard's passing. My deepest sympathies to all his family and friends.
In my heart I know that he has now joined Herb & Marshie in some glorious pick-up game up there in the Clouds.
With love, Judy Clar (cousin-in-law)
