Howard Leed's will always be with me in so much as his kindness and consideration for both myself and others was without question.

Dearest Joan,
I am extremely saddened about the passing of Howard. He was fascinating to listen to, his story telling engaging, and a wonderful friend to my Uncle Hal. I will forever remember his humour and generosity of spirit, throughout the years. Our deepest condolences to you and the family
