Howard Pearlstein Obituary
In addition to his passion for and success in the public relations industry, with hundreds of high-profile media placements, Howard loved music, playing trumpet in the family band with his father and brothers and writing songs. An engaging storyteller, he also enjoyed traveling, poker and photography. Horse racing was a passion: Howard owned several race horses and was thrilled to watch his horses run and win.
Howard is survived by his wife, Helaine; his father, Leo; his brothers David and Frank and their wives Karen and Cathie; and nieces Jennifer and Jackie.
Services will take place on Sun., Dec. 3 at 10 am, at Hollywood Forever-Beth Olam Cemetery in Hollywood. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the American Heart Association.

I had the pleasure and honor of working with Howard and Leo as part of the Lee & Associates "family". While we were an agency, we were well and truly a family, with big brother Howard looking out for me and joking around with me as well. I am so very sad to learn of his passing. I moved to Georgia from Southern California almost 30 years ago, but have still enjoyed reunions and frequent telephone conversations with my Pearlstein family. I shall really miss hearing Howard´s optimism and humor.

Howard was a great friend and we enjoyed many adventures together just about every weekend in the late 60´s. My first real GF, Peggy Sklar, spent countless nights and weekends with us. Manny Schatz was there, too. Wild, fun times. My heart is broken but my life was blessed to have Howard in it. I´ll never forget and thank you forever, Howard. Better times were never present than those we shared together. Until we meet again ...

Sorry to hear about Howard's passing. We hadn't been in contact for many years, but I was recently thinking of him. We were close friends in the late 60's and early 70's until I moved away from SoCal. Bob Ray, Peggy Sklar, Nina Kupper and I spent much time together back then. Condolences to Howard's wife and family.

Howard was one of six of us (three couples) who hung out every weekend (circa 1966-67). We went everywhere together...a best friend and wonderful person. We had so much fun, so many memories. My condolences to the family.
