Dear Jodi and Debbie,
Was shocked to hear about your Dad's passing. I came about it by accident while looking up another funereal at Sholom. I'm sorry for your loss. It's been many years since I have seen you but wanted you to know I'm sorry.
Fondly,
Lois Katz

Howard too young too leave family and friends. I've know as a true friend too see you pass away so early in life. Not just as friend but more like a brother. We didn't see that much of each other as it's been over 10 years since i relocated but u know i always caught up with u when i came too Chicago or your came here too south Florida catch up on golf or tennis. May you rest in peace Ron

To Howard's family, sorry for your loss. Jeremiah 29:11 assures us that God is thinking thoughts of peace towards us, to give us a future and a hope, may that bring you comfort at this difficult time.

Howard you will be missed. I will miss our exercise sessions, our discussions on sports, and you asking how my family is doing. I will miss talking about your family and how proud you are of all of them. I willl miss asking you about your recent golf outing or how you did in your poker game. I will miss you. Forever your trainer- Jeff Miller
