Howard was a great and loving guy. I know that you will miss him terribly as we all will. Keep up your spirits and just know that even though his is not there physically he is still there with you, watching over you. We had some really good times with you guys, four-wheeling, playing cards at your house and just hanging out.

We Love You and will be seeing you soon.

Dear Sharon: I am very sorry for your loss. As everyone says HOWARD was the best. More than 30 years have passed since I first met him.

Howard is an exsample of how a regular guy can be a GREAT MAN. As a Godfather to my girls he was more than wonderful. He was a second Dad to them and God knows I needed Howards help. He was and always will be thier Uncle Howard. To me he will be "Walboy" my friend and an exsample of how a man should live his life.

Love You

Danny
