Not sure what to say?

I just learned about Howard´s illness and death and am very upset to lose him from this world. I always thought I would see him again. I do know that life is eternal.

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 just saw this Terry..My condolences to you and to all family & friends...

Terry, I learned of the passing of Howard last night and was very sad and hope you and your family are staying as strong as one can be at this time.May he rest in peace and you know he will never be forgotten by many who were fortunate to have known Howard. Very fondly, Stevi

Terri, We were so saddened to hear of Howard´s passing. Our hearts and prayers are with you and your family. Our love always- Jim and Jodi Scott

Single Memorial Tree

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.

Met Howard and Teri my first weekend in Cleveland-50+ years ago. Have loved them both since. Miss you muff

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.
