Howard was my cousin. We would talk on the phone whenever I was in Boise. He was a very nice guy. He stayed with us 50 years ago during the Seattle World's Fair.
His father, Arthur Suchy was my gramma Marie Suchy Lohstreter's brother.
I will miss you, Howard.

Howard was a amazing man. He was our neighbor for 9 plus years. He was always saying hi on his bicycle. I was shocked to hear of his passing. My prayers and thoughts go out to his family and friends. He will be deeply missed.

I was a good friend of Howards during High School and left for the military in early 1967. I lost touch with him through out the years but thought of him often. I was sad to read about his passing. I will be unable to attend his services as I will be out of town that day. I have other friends that are at Dry creek Cemetery and visit, so I will be sure and see him the next trip that way.
R.I.P. Howard
your friend,
