I am so sorry to hear about Howard. We go back to around age 13, keeping in touch for over 60 years. Just this year, we had frequent phone conversations. And 5 years ago, Howard helped me to get my first dog! We had some crazy adventures together, and some I shouldn't repeat. I miss you Howard. I know you can hear me.

My condolences Barbara and Family! I worked with Howard at Bob's years ago. I recently reached out to him on Facebook. Funny guy. Hey Howard, Gene don't work for State Gene work for Bobby. Inside joke when I started at Bob's after not taking a job for the State of Connecticut. Howard would bust my stones over the years working at Bob's. You'll be missed Howard.

Barbara, Marc & I love both of you and we share your collective grief. From sharing his special seasoning and rubs with Marc to cooking for our annual picnics and events. He was a staple here at the Community Center, where I relied on his expertise from all things cooking to how to navigate the myriad of Veterans departments for Vets in need here in our community. He is missed and please know that all here at the Middlefield Senior & Social Services Department are thinking of you. Much Love to you.
