Our thoughts are with you and family. The tributes from your Dad's former colleagues are quite touching to me having worked with so many of them back in the day. Those tributes show what a wonderful person he was. Fond memories shared by your family will help overcome sorrow. Bless all of you.

Very sorry to hear of Howie's passing. Such a quiet guy until you got to know him but very dedicated to his job. He never complained when I went to ask for help, always kind to everyone. I feel bad for Bunky ~ take a sweater or something Howie wore recently and put it out for Bunky to sleep on while he adjusts to his loss so he can still smell his smell. Lifting all of you in prayer <3

I was very sorry to hear of Howies passing .My prayers go out to the family.
Howie was in my Police Academy class and a favorite of all. He was also our best of class in fire arms which many would not know because he would never boast about his deeds. A great all around man and he will be be missed . May he Rest In Peace!

To Howard's family. My thoughts and prayers go out to you. I worked for a number of years in the Detective Bureau with Howard and he was truly one of the good guys. I don't think I ever saw him without a smile on his face and he was a laugh a minute to work with. He will be missed.

Sorry for you loss. I worked with Howard at the State for several years, he retired from there and came back. He always put a smile on everyone's face. I was privileged to hear many stories of his family and his times at CPD and I loved everyone on them. He will be so missed.

My husband, Clarence, and I were so sorry to hear about Howie. We worked with him for many years in the Detective Bureau. He was always joking and smiling and a more kind or thoughtful friend couldn't be found. When we think of him, we can't help but smile - he was such a good guy. Liz & Clarence Sorrell (CPD retired)
