Howard had such a great sense of humor. He made us laugh.

Howard - where to begin. You quite literally saved my life many times over. Your unconditional love, your acceptance, your humor - you were such a blessing in my life. I have many wonderful memories of you.

My first memory is when he dropped Jen off at my house. I thought he was a cool dad because he dropped her off on his motorcycle. I wasn´t wrong. He was a very cool dad.

Kim, Beth, Chris, and Jennifer. We are sorry for your loss. We extend our most sincere condolences to you and your families. Pat and Marcela.
