Belated sympathy is extended to all members of Howard's family upon learning of his passing. His years at Security Benefit in Topeka will be remembered by many former co-workers and friends that he made during those years.
Sincerely,

To all of Howard's friends and family, especially Tad and Claire, members of his second family who were friends of mine almost 50 years ago, I extend my fondest thoughts and condolences. Howard gave me my first taste of Thelonious Monk, for which I will always be grateful.
