I remember first meeting Howie sitting behind his huge desk at Ralph's; his warm welcomes and sense of humor will always be treasured.

Howie was a real friend and neighbor at Ralph's truck service. He was so kind and helpful when we acquired the property adjacent to him. I would be at the Service but am recovering from surgery. I will miss his visits and smiling face.

It was an honor to serve WDF with Howie for so long, he made us feel important and special, always with the glint in his eye! He will be missed but leaves an amazing legacy and many fond memories.

Cookie and Family, Howie will be missed but not forgotten. Boyhood friends are forever. As ever, Sidney Ganz

We will certainly miss Howie's big smile and sunny disposition when bringing his dog (wait, it's Cookie's dog!) Bandit into the Club for grooming. He always had a story to share or a joke to tell. Enjoy frolicking with all those dogs on the other side of the Rainbow Bridge.
