I owe a lot to Howard as he was my best friend from grade school through high school. I wouldn´t have been the tennis player that I was if it wasn´t for him. He was my best competitor. RIP Howard!
I´ll always cherish those days

I remember many walks with Howard and those conversations were always about Jesus, all the questions he had are now answered, He is home!
Prayers for Barb and her family, we know Jesus will carry you until your able to stand on your own. He will pull you into a place where you will find restoration and find a new normal, He will never leave you.

We celebrate Howard and all Heaven does also, He is welcomed home, finished his race and we will see him again!
