The world is sadder and smaller without Howard in it. What a guy. So smart so funny. From high schooldays to our adult lives, he was a good friend and so glad he married my BFF. Sending love to Terri, Joanne and family.

I was so sorry and surprised to read of Howard's passing. My brother, Dan Garfinkel, passed away exactly a month before Howard, also of Lewy Body Dementia. They were the same age. Howard and I overlapped for a year at Miami and got together there. I also remember him and Susie at the Garfinkel Reunion at my mom's (Margie Garfinkel) on Cedar Road, after my dad (Bert) had passed away. I hope you are comforted by years of happy memories. I'm thinking of you.

We all have such wonderful memories. We go back so many years, back to high school days. Dear Terri, my deepest sympathies to you. Lewy Body Dementia is such a horrible disease, I hope your generous donation will help to find some answers toward finding a cure. Howard brought so much joy to all who knew him in his life, may his memory forever be a blessing. He left this world a better place.
