Howie.....boy did me and Johnny hate you when you purchased our friend Mr Petersons house next to mine......I was only 12....that changed....you've been my friend. ..and you've been my father. ..you gave me my first big job as a contractor. ...you gave me advice. ..you more then anyone helped me become who I am....I moved back across the street from you with my kids because I wanted them to have what you gave me....you used to play catch with the football and baseball. ..you made our whole street become more than that you made it family. ..i know I'm family with your daughters and that means so much to me...you did real good there....I just hope I'm half the parent and man you were....thank you so much for everything. ...I love you...

We are so very sorry to hear about the unbelievable passing of Howie. It brings us back to Wharton Avenue and the great times we shared ……children growing up block parties….hair cuts. You are in our prayers & thoughts and wish we could come up there to express our sorrow in person. The Storniolo Family

We've known Howie & Linda for the past 42 years and were there when each of their beautiful girls were born. I will never forget all our chats on the front steps over many years.

Andy and Maryann
A Bridge Called Love,
It takes us back to brighter years, to happier sunlight days and to precious moments that will be with us always.
These fond recollections are treasured in the heart to bring us always close to those from whom we had to part.
There is a bridge of memories from earth to Heaven above...
It keeps our dear ones near us.
It's the Bridge that we call Love.
