My deepest condolences to Howard's family. I remember him (we called him "Hy")from his days in local bands, the Mellow Moods, and subsequently, Warehouse. Although not a large fellow, I watched as he and another band member moved his Hammond B3 and Leslie out of his station wagon and into whatever venue they were playing.
