I worked at Zero Mfg. in 1960-1963. This is when Zero was on Chestnut St. I remember Howard well. Always very friendly and nice. Also knew his brother George around that time when he was Manager of Alexanders market in Van Nuys. I lived across the street and you to shop there quite often. My prayers and sympathy to the whole family. We always remember the nice guys we worked with.
