Howard always made people smile. He was a wonderful person and someone great to know. I am sorry I was unable to make the services, but I am sure Helen has paved his way to her side.

I'm very sorry to hear of your dad's death. I worked with him as a programmer at Illinois Bell in downtown Chicago from 1974 to 1982. I remember he always had a great sense of humor. He was fun to be around.

Your Dad was a great guy. I worked with him downtown in programming the FRA system. He was always a great help to me and I appreciated everything he ever did. I still remember Howie bringing the family downtown for holidays...good memories.
My deepest sympathy to the both of you and your families.
