Howard married my friend and neighbor Cindy, and they kindly stayed in touch ever since. They first met at De Vilbiss High School, where I also attended. I'm saddened to learn of his loss. He was a good man with a lovely family and he will be missed.

I knew Howard from many years at Owens Corning. I graduated from Wilbur and 63 and The university Of Toledo in engineering, electrical in 1968. I don´t know corn in 1969 like Howard and there we spent many years making own corn good. Howard was an outstanding engineer and a great project manager. I appreciate it Howard and his skills very much. He will be sadly missed.
