Sending thoughts and prayers on the anniversary of Mr. Glupkers passing. Howie left an indelible mark on all those who were fortunate enough to know him. So many wonderful memories of a great and kind man!

One of my favorite people in high school. Not only a JV basketball coach, but a mentor who knew how to push you to get your best. He was such an excellent human being.

I met Howie only about 5 years ago though softball he was a great guy and I´m so glad I got to play with him and know him. I always appreciated all the hard work he did for the team. I still have a voice message from him on my phone and will listen to it now and then to remember him. Rest In Peace Howie God Bless you.

So very sorry Betty, Michelle and family prayers for comfort to you all during this very difficult time of loss but also celebration of a wonderful life! What a great man and a great legacy he left us all! Always there for all the kids activities and not only game day! All the behind the scenes help he offered with their activities.

It was an honor and pleasure for Shirley and Gary to call Howie a friend and teammate on our Old Folks Softball teams for the past 20+ years.

A tremendous motivator, a source of energy, a great athlete, and a true friend. Gary Kortz
