Sue,
We are having our 50th High School reunion for the American School in London. I make sure to mention his untimely passing and say a pray with his classmates. Our reunion is in Wash DC Sept 29-30. He was one of my favorite guys. Yesterday when I saw his ambition in the yearbook was to be 6'6" tall one day I remembered the size of his heart/soul. The class sends sincere condolences. Andy Bates

Howard will be missed on Pipewell Lane. His daily walks and driving by in his MB with the top down always made me smile (my office window faces the street)! I also smiled when you, Sue, and Jen were with him.
Maintain your strength, welcome a new life into your family, and share the memories which will keep Howard's spirit alive.
With our deepest sympathy,

My thoughts and prayers are with you all at this very sad time. Howard was not only my dear cousin, but he was also my kindred spirit and one of my best friends. He touched my heart and made a wonderful difference in my life. Behind that impish grin, there was such a kind and caring man who could always make me smile and laugh, and feel good about myself. I will miss him dearly. Howard was truly a blessing in my life and I will carry his memory in my heart forever.
