Howard R. Conant, Sr.

Howard Conant offered me my first ever paid job (except for baby siting) at Interstate Steel during the summer of 1960. I learned so much...switchboard operations; that its OK to admit that you dont understand a process and /or problem; how to suggest/recommend changes tactfully, and how to work with older adults as colleagues! I miss him!

Howard was like second father to me. I owe him so many things. I loved him deeply. My memories from over thirty years would fill a book. He taught me so many lessons, just by his example and his words.
Now that I'm fighting and struggling also, he is even closer t o me .

Yours for ever grateful german-frnch-sspanish friend,

Dear Doris & family:
I just learned of Howard's passing today. I am so sorry that I did not have the opportunity to come by to see you during this difficult time.

I am grateful that I got to know you and...

I just learned of Howard's passing a few days ago. I was surprised and saddened. Howard and I communicated several times a year up to a year or so ago and it was always a delight. Howard always had so many interesting things to talk about and was concerned and asked about former ISC employees and how they were doing. He will be missed.

May I really tell how we met and became friends? In Guadeloupe, at club med, I ran into a cow, driving my bike to a secluded beach. Therefore, I was unable to give my group classes and Howard took my job. At this time, I had no idea that he was an important b usiness man and he seemed to be delighted. Our friendship lasted since then, over 38 years and it would take hours to tell all the adventures we shared since, becoming partners in a great tennis club in Martinique, including ATP...

Dear Doris and family, We miss Howard so much in our literary masters class. He was such an inspiration in his life, with his generosity and his dreams of making this a better world.
May you be warmed by sweet memories of him. Please accept my deepest sympathy.

June and I were saddened to hear the news. I have many fond memories of Howard as a former tennis player at your Glenview home and as a consultant to him on PR for Interstate Steel, etc.

Doris,our condolences to you and your family over your loss.
