Albert David Howe

Dear Al, I never got to meet you, but your amazing talent and great energy meant a lot to me on your recordings with your brother Greg. I was disheartened to hear of your passing. My condolences go out to your family and loved ones. May God Bless, and continue to watch over them. Love, David

I met Al in back in the late 90's and had the pleasure of hanging out with both him and Greg at their place in Easton. He was one of the funniest and coolest guys on the planet. Both he and Greg were a huge influence on me musically. It was great seeing guys that looked like me with so much talent. I still tell stories about him to this day. So sorry to hear that he passed away.

Luv ya bro

To the brothers that made it happen never forget you guys.

He was a great person to meet, really sad of his passing, I hope Greg takes it okay, had the opportunity to hang with them after their show in Brockton mass back in the 80’s,, without I doubt there is nobody that can touch his brother Greg,, they were super to hang with and very talented,, will miss his smile and professional approach..

I´m sorry to hear to my old boyfriend has passed wish I knew I would have been there to many laughs and smiles to count he introduced me to Tangueray and Tonic and it´s still my number one go to cocktail I´ve thought of him often over the years and I know now it will be even more

I am so sorry for your loss

I will never forget Albert and the great times with Howe 2. I loved seeing him sing at his gigs. He had a great heart and personality. Greg and Milly were great people.

Dear Janice and the Howe Family:
We are deeply sorry for your loss. Losing someone you love is incredibly difficult, and we hope you find comfort in the memories and love you shared and know his voice will never be forgotten. Our thoughts are with you during this difficult time, as we know he is at peace now.

I did not know Al very well but he was a great friend to my daughter, Stephanie Fazekas. In the beginning of their friendship they both struggled with substance abuse. Stephanie found her way and for a time I know Al did also. I was at her home when he visited as she was going through her cancer journey and he was quite a comfort to her. They both had found the Lord Jesus. She was very distressed when she lost contact with him and sadly passed away without knowing what had become of him. My prayers for comfort for his family. I was also privleged to care for Millie when she was at Gracedale and found her to be just the kindest, sweetest lady. Be blessed as you move forward with fond memories.

In High school, he graduated with my younger brother. The Howes where friends and great people.

Greg, Sharon and I are so sorry to hear about the passing of your Brother.
Deepest condolences to your family.

Arnie Hart and I were the original lightmen for Duke. We had so much fun and I love those guys, Albert, Greg, Dan, Joe, Dave(Cue Ball), and Doc on Sound.
My favorite version of the band!
R.I.P. Al, my spiritual brother see you in Heaven.

I am so sorry to hear that Al is gone. I'm stunned. I knew him through music and I remember him as a remarkable talent and full of kindness. And he had that easy smile. I followed much of his music but burned in my memory was when he and Greg would call their band "Full Blues Jacket" and go play at a small bar in Easton. They did side 2 of The Beatles "Abbey Road" and it was astonishing and just so damned cool. Al was so damned cool. My condolences to all of his family and friends.

Condolences to the Howe family. Such a sad tragedy and a life lost way too soon!
Some of my fondest high school memories
And beyond revolve around seeing Duke and Howe 2! I Albert was such a kind soul with so much charisma, personality, talent, and stage presence! My heart is broken that he has left us but I hope that he is at peace! He has touched so many people with his music and friendship! His legacy will always live on! Rest in Peace Albert!

Condolences to Greg and family, Al was a nice guy who had a smile to light up a room. Here are some pics of Al from early days of his band Duke.

I had the pleasure of opening up for Howe II once at Airport Music Hall many years ago. He certainly was a tremendous talent and an incredible showman. My condolences to his family, friends, and fans everywhere. RIP Al

Deepest Sympathy to the family... Albert was liked by all...We had great times at Abbey Road... May he Rest in Peace

What I always will remember about Albert was how incredibly kind, funny & sweet he was. He had a beautiful soul like no other!
I can´t quite comprehend how a life that shone so bright, could be gone from us so soon. What a loss. I pray he is at peace

There was a time Al was backstage at a show I was with the opening act..I was still holding my guitar and Al got me coming up with Riffs and started singing and creating incredible lines to everything i came up with.. We were both highly diggin it so much that he did come to my studio one time.. Unfortunately that was the last time i saw him.. He was kind, He was like a light in the room..RIP Al.. ill forever remember him and that time we shared in this life.

Sad to hear of Albert´s passing. I remember his band and how nice he always was. Rest in Peace.
