All I can say is that Howard Pain enjoyed his extraordinary life because he contributed so much to others. I knew him as an antique collector. We were friends for over fifty years, travelling together to Pennsylvania and New England when he was preparing his book saluting Ontario furniture. I last saw him at his house in Collingwood about a week or so before he gave up the ghost. His goodbye was emotional. His friendship is eternal. I will miss him.
