My Dad and Mom, Buzz and Dot Hillman, went to Morgan Park HS with Howard (and I think, Jane) and they attended each other's weddings. Howard was my godfather. Dad and Howard would talk by phone every couple of months, and last spoke a couple of months ago. He was very upset that he hadn't heard from him and sent him a letter last week. He is speaks of him fondly and often.

Jane and Howard were some of my fist and most welcoming friends at Church of the Mediator, IL. We laughed together often and loved life !! That was in 1970. God Bless you all and he will truly be missed. He was a classic !!!

One of the things we enjoyed most about our weekends in Michigan was seeing Howard and catching up with him. He was one of the most gentle men we have ever met and a terrific neighbor. We will miss him dearly.
