My family and I will truly miss this special man who was a dear friend and companion to my mother Beverly. He was a man of strong faith and put his trust in Jesus for all things and that is how I will always remember him. He is where his heart has yearned to be for years. Until we meet again sweet Howard......rest easy .

He was my next door neighbor and a lovely man, fully grounded in his faith. When I visited him, he always told the most wonderful stories about his time in the service and his angel visit. I'll miss him a lot. May God send His comfort to all the family. Becky Panzak
