A wise person once said "give them the flowers while they are still alive". It shames me to think I never bothered to find a way to let Mr. Howard know how much his music meant to me, and what an impact it had on my life. I thank God I will be able to do so when I also enter eternity, but for now, hopefully this will bless his family. Tom's music, especially Solo Piano and The Harvest, were MAJOR contributors to bringing peace to a life of confusion and angst, similar to when David played for King Saul. Likely saved me from more trouble than I'll know on this earth. God Bless.

Dori and family,
Shocked, saddened and so sorry to hear of Tom's death. I grew up with him, went to school with him, went to church with him-we shared a lot of life together. My husband Steve sang with him in church groups. May God's peace that passes all understanding be yours in the time ahead.
