Dear Joan, My sincere condolences to you at this time. I am so sorry to read about Howard. He was a very unique person and I loved that about him. Your mom and dad are probably saying right now...shouldn't you get a haircut...You had a very nice and caring family and I enjoyed knowing them and seeing them every week at the beauty shop and of course occasionally Howard...and you too. You are in my thoughts and prayers at this time and may the memories that he leaves behind bring a smile to your face.

Deeply saddened by Howard's passing. I always enjoyed being with and talking with him. He had a great sense of humor and was fun to work with at Classic Photo and Triangle. We shared a love of music. I will always think of him as "Ace", which he wanted us to call him, "because I'm so cool". Also, I remember him saying that if he had a son, he would name him Klipp, so he would be Klipp Klopp. Yes, Howard you are cool and I'll drink a shot of Old Overcoat in your memory. Have fun up there with Charlie!
