Howard Hawley Wells Jr.

Howard was an inspirational musician and dear friend. I loved his sense of humor and our many long conversations about life and music. He will not be forgotten.

Though I only met Howard a couple of times he left me with a legacy of love of beautiful music and of spirituality for which I am grateful. I particularly remember a visit with Howard when I was a freshman at SDSU where he gave me a piano lesson. May he rest in peace.
