Howie was truly a good and decent man. I knew him as my Supervisor at FBIHQ and he will be missed. He was fair, honest and a real asset to the Bureau. He lived a good and productive life and I benefited from his wise counsel many times.

I was a close co-worker of Howie's during his employment at MSM Security Services, Inc.
I could write a book about him - all of it favorable. Howie was a giant of a man - not only physically, but always the perfect gentleman. He played a very important role in the early success of MSM, and the imprint of his involvement is still felt. I retired from the successor organization only last week, and up to the date of my retirement, our field investigators would call to inquire about Howie and see how he was getting along. Neither they nor I was aware of his illness.
Howie was a very private person, who only discussed his WW II Marine Corps service in the Pacific if asked to do so. My last discussion with him occurred a day or so after he suffered a broken hip. He was upbeat in talking about his recovery, and as usual, he had no complaints.
I am sorry that my personal situation prevents me from attending his funeral and meeting some of his friends and relatives.
I can only say,"Howie, ave atque vale." We are all poorer now.
Your old friend, Frank
