We are sorry for the loss of Howard. He was a very nice, humble, quiet man, who was a pleasure to talk too. He never bragged about all the fine, dedicated work he did all those years as a firefighter. He will be sorely missed by everyone at Pocasset Bay Manor. The residents, as well as the staff will miss him.
