Mary,
Our deepest condolences go out to you and the family on the loss of sch a wonderful and loving gentleman as Howard was. I have told you this many times but it deserves to be repeated here for those who didn't know the Howard I came to know and love like my own dad in the 20 years we were friends I can recall many times in those 20 years when he would come into my place of business and if I was having a bad day or month you could always count on Howard to turn your frown upside down. He could walk in the door with always a friendly greeting to make sure to say "Hi Son" to me and I would always respond back with "Hi Dad" and when he would leave he would always be sure to give me a big hug and say thank you for helping him stay healthy for another month and that he will see me next month. He always made it a point to always ask about my wife and daughter and how they are doing. It was the little things that he did that made me feel real good and you were lucky to have had such a wonderful man as Howard. I finish with R.I.P my dear friend Howard and til the day comes when we will see each other again in the next life I say thank you for the years of friendship and laughter we came to share and I love you and will never forget you.
