Uncle Howie was the uncle every kid should have. He was witty, funny and always had a smile on his face. No matter where or when I saw him, if he started off with "hey Jack", I knew there was a joke to follow. Fishing trips with Pop, Uncle Howie, and their friend Jerry was a comedy show in itself. He was loved, and will be missed, and I am so thankful for all the memories that I have of him.

My uncles's eyes actually twinkled and when i was little i was convinced he was Santa with that happy smile and joy in his laugh. He found humor in the simple things of life. He will always have a special place in my heart. My Uncle Howie
