So sorry Howard you were a great guy and one of my favorite clients!

Please accept my sincere sympathies. May God's holy spirit or active force, equip you with the " power beyond what is normal " to go from one day to the next. ( 2 Corinthians 4 : 7 ) Remember : God can help his faithful servants to endure any and every problem they may face.

Pat and Howard at West Point 1997

Howard and I were shavetail second lieutenants together, and we remained close friends for the next 63 years. Every time I had the pleasure of his company he vividly remembered those days. Howard was an especially good person and an exceptional friend. His indelible smile and warm heart were uplifting to everyone he met. I miss my special friend. Shirley joins me in wishing God's blessings on both Howard and Pat.

We're sorry for your loss. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.
We wish we could make the trip. At least, he is not in pain anymore and that is good. We're here for you if you need anything.
