Howard (EE '75) was a graduate of Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art where he served as a trustee and was winner of the 1997 Alumni of the year award. Howard was a captain of industry who touched millions of lives as a founder and President of Pairgain Technologies, an early pioneer of DSL technology. Howard formed a lifelong passion for sailing in his early teens and loved taking sailing trips with family and friends and spending time at the beach.
