Uncle Howie was a good man, friend and fellow veteran. In the last years of his life, we corresponsed via email. He's the last of his generation in my family that were vets. He's now gone where old soldiers go when called to stand down. I'll miss him.

I had the opportunity to get to work with Mr. Gullickson in the four months that I worked as a cna at Senior Suites. He was always a positive person and really cared for others. He was a very intelligent man as well. I feel truly blessed to have known him and I know that he will be dearly missed by all who knew him.

It is an honor to have worked with Howard at AA where he was so well-respected and to have known him this last year at Senior Suites. He was loved and admired by his caregivers and other SS residents. He kindly observed my mom (SS resident) and helped me understand her blindness. He was always busy at his computer. Howard will be missed. I am thankful for the opportunity of knowing him.
