Not sure what to say?

I knew Howard at Beverly Hills High School. I too was a tennis player and really enjoyed watching him play, what a talent.

What a great player for his age. A thrill to hit with Arther Ashe at 12 years old. he must have been thrilled.

I grew up with Howard. He was two years younger than I. We spent countless hours at the Tennis Club in Rochester, MN. I am so sorry for his loss to his family and friends.

A memorial Service honoring Howard Schoenfield sill be held at Hillside Memorial Cemetery in Los Angeles on Sunday, July 25 at 12:00 noon. for more information, please reach out to his brother, Mark, at [email protected].

Howard and John McEnroe were the two best players ever to play at the national championships in Kalamazoo. I have attended every tourney there since 1968 and he was simply fabulous. His story needs to be made into a movie. I wish I had the talents to write the script.

Great player.

Howard and I were frequent practice partners on the tennis court in his younger days in Minnesota, and we were friends. Howard had a good heart, and I am saddened to see that he has passed on. May he now finally rest in peace..

I loved this memorial tribute. Such a gift he had.... Impressive resilience. Such talent. Quite handsome too. I love that our moms share same name Nancy. Love to you and your family. Im so sorry for the loss.
