Oh Debbie - I was deeply saddened to hear of Howard's passing . . . he was both funny and lively (thus my nickname for him: Bubba). He was also very thoughtful, kind and caring - he never spoke ill of anyone. He will be missed by so many!!! You both did a terrific job raising Jeffrey and Brian and I know that they miss their dad and will do a good job taking care of mom.
You are in my continued thoughts and prayers.

Dear Alan, Barbara and Family, I remember Howie as good natured and good humored. He was a good brother, a good kid and I'm sure matured into a good man. May he be remembered for the goodness he brought to the world.
With sympathy and love to you and yours, Addy Miller Chernawsky

Please accept my sympathies on your loss. I met Howard at Hibbard Grammar School in 3rd grade. I still vividly remember the day he was notified his dad had died, his seat was directly in front of min. At that time our moms were good friends and continued to be for many years. I have not seen him for many years, but I do remember his smile and that he was a really good person. May memories of him be an eternal blessing to you and your entire family.
