Dear Dolores, Marsha and Darrell We were very sorry to hear about Howard's passing. Please accept our deepest sympathy at what I know is a very difficult time. Howard was a great man and I hold onto many childhood memories myself, and know my dad (Bert) holds onto the treasured friendship and the many fishing and hunting excursions he had with Howard.
