Dear Phyllis, Holly & Laurie,

I am so saddened to hear of Howard's passing in June. I just received a New Years card from Laurie, and tried to find her on Facebook. In my search I found Howard's obituary.

Please know how much I am thinking of you all and how much I remember your loving husband and wonderful father.

Peace be with you all...

What wonderful memories I have of your dad taking us to Dairy Queen in our pajamas on so many summer nights! He was so cute bringing the ice cream to us as we watched from the car. And who would think catching fish in a stocked public pool could be so fun? I think we cleaned him out of cheese and bologna with our poor fishing methods. I also remember the quiet winter walks through Harms Woods with Smokey. I am so glad he is at peace and in heaven sharing all his sports critiques with his...
