Howard's talents and laughter were much appreciated at Catholic Digest magazine. He was a great storyteller, all the while keeping things running smoothly. Lots of good memories for us all.

We always had the best times when Uncle Howie came to visit us in Florida! He loved my Mom's cole slaw and pineapple tort! He smiled and laughed all the time (and said "for cripes sake" when telling stories). New Years Eve parties were so much fun with Howie. We all loved Uncle Howie and will miss him dearly.
Love,
Kathy, Jim, Erin and Jimmy Machmiller

Howard , "Howie " was a dear friend who I've gotten to know the past several years.
Whether it be for a holiday or birthday celebration, a good game of Farkle , we always had a great time. Howard read at my mother's memorial service in Jan. of 2019. His 90th birthday party last July was a fun and joyous occasion! He was a pleasure to know . Rest in peace Howard .

Good-Bye Howie.
A man we considered our uncle, a man with a hearty laugh and appetite, a very kind man and a man with a very strong Catholic faith.
We know you are in heaven singing with the angels and gambling at that big casino in heaven.
You will be missed.
Love Mark, Kim, Bridgit, and Kevin Mulrooney

Howard was such a good, lovable person. He was like an Uncle to all my children. He had the best laugh and was a wonderful, caring friend. We had many memorable times over the years. He will never be forgotten. Loved him so much. Condolences to his family.

Howie was a dear friend and we loved him so much. I can hear his laughter in my head right now. He about best man at our wedding 50 years ago. He will be missed but I sure he is loving on his family and friends that went before him. God bless you and keep you close.
