Mark, Bruce, Paul and wives, my heartfelt condolences on the loss of Howie.
I'll always remember the Baker Christmas parties with Howie making the antipasto. He will be missed, so glad we got to visit with him a few years ago.
My apologies that we cannot make it up to Connecticut for the wake or funeral, our hearts and minds will be with you as well as our prayers.

Sincere Condolences to all of you. My sister Iris was Howie´s neighbor and fellow member of the VFW.When she would go there on Saturday to check in I would go with her. He always greeted us with a smile. He called us the "shopping sisters"because that´s where we were going afterwards. May he rest in peace.
