I had not heard that you left this realm, I moved to florida, but I want to share a story about a dream I had, I was telling someone about you, that o matter what you did I could never get mad at you when I saw your big blue eyes and your smile,I never stopped loving you. But the day I said that I said that I had a dream and I was in a bar and I was trying to find the door to leave and all of a sudden the door opened and there you were walking in with a huge smile and we hugged and I was so excited to see you walking and what surprised me the most was you came on the same night after I had been talking about those blue eyes and beautiful smile. A I know it was you. I just wish you would come back and visit again but I know everyone who knew you would wish for the same visit to.

So sorry to read of Howies passing, our son Dan and him lived together for several years, they both had many challenges to meet, he was always so nice to us. Last time I saw him was at Dans funeral in Aug 2009. I am sure they are chatting in heaven. Dan was 46 and Howie lived to 56. We extend our sincere sympathy to his children and all his family and his caregiver. RIP as u both are now walking in another place.
