Hi Ann,
The magazine “Bleech” was amazing because it showed so much in the way of dedication, hard work and talent. You were a team, always together. Fred and I enjoyed working with Howard recently and wanted to share one of his beautiful photos.
We are so grateful for his help with our ads, but more importantly for the time to get to know him. Everyone enjoyed his good humor and loved being with him. He was always so happy and did such fine work.
We will always remember him.

Howie was a fantastic friend, the first friend I made when attending design school... and remained friends ever since. He was always witty, creative and so much fun. His observations on life, culture and people always fascinated me. I will miss him very much but feel so grateful to have known him.

I wish to extend my condolences to the family of Howard Gardiner. We grew up and went through grade school and Highschool together. He was a dear and cherished friend through those important years. He was witty,artistic,multi-talented and intelligent. May God bless him and his family.
