Dear Kay & Family,
It was a very nice part of our life when we lived at 2 Earle Rd. Howard was just so much fun and it went so fast. We are very sad.
Our best to all of you,
Paul Grady and all the Grady family.

I met Howard at MIT in 1984 and I was just a youngster and now years later my family and I are blessed to have gotten to you Kathleen, and Howard and your wonderful family stories. I will miss seeing Howard at 11 mass each Sunday. Kathleen you are such a warm and caringl woman and I know it has been hard these past few months. But, Howard will be at peace and we all at St. John will keep you strong and in our hearts. All our love, Colette Fearnley and family

It was a great pleasure to have served in VF73 with you. You were a big asset to me working as Aviation Electronics Technicians. I was glad that we were able to see one another in our later years in Florida. You were a great guy and you will be deeply missed.

My dear friend Howard:
You brought a tremendous unrivaled richness to my life with the unique 55 year friendship we shared. Your departure has left a huge unfillable void in my existence. The Lord will most certainly be happy to have you home at last. Thank you for your kindness and for truly being God's creature. My love to Kathleen, Karen, Marie, Christine and to the new generation of Millers.
Fondly.....JVP
