London, Howard A., 82, died Saturday, November 1, 2025, surrounded by family. Affectionately known as "Howie", he was the beloved husband of the late Elaine (Goldberg) London and Alva (Gerstein) London of Boca Raton, FL. Born in Providence, RI, the son of the late David and Evelyn (Blazer) London, he had lived in East Greenwich, RI for over 15 years, previously living in Cranston, RI.

Howie was a graduate of Providence College and President of the family business, David London & Co. for 40 years before retiring in 2000. He was a member of Temple Sinai, Touro Fraternal Association, and Redwood Lodge of the Masons. Always a practical jokester to all that knew him, he loved being on the water boating and fishing in Narragansett Bay and Florida. His pride and joy were watching and supporting everything his grandchildren participated in. He was known as the king of "DIY" and there wasn't a project he wouldn't tackle.

Devoted father of Andrew London and his wife, Jill, of Natick, MA and Dr. Robert London and his wife, Caryn, of Coral Springs, FL. Loving stepfather of Jill Krueger of North Kingston, Lawrence Portman of Westport, CT, and Audrey Samara of Parkland FL. Dear brother of Jerome London of Lincoln, RI and Melvin London of Narragansett, RI. Proud Papa of Emily, Samantha, Joshua, Elliot, and Julia, step-grandfather of Lauren, Stephanie, Jack, Henry, Hannah, Eden, Jonah and Romi.
