I am so sorry to hear about your loss. I just heard about Howard and am now having such wonderful memories about how he helped me at Rogers school. Howard and Judy helped to celebrate the birth of my daughter. I always looked forward to the funny emails he always sent. I will be thinking of his family in my prayers.
