I have only just, all these years since his passing, come across Howard's obituary. I lost my dearest husband/partner/soul-mate in September 2021, so am so well aware of the continued sense of loss that you must be going through. I doubt this whole in my heart will ever completely heal but we do have wonderful, unique and cherished memories to hold close and dear to us. I worked with Howard, directly, as I was his assistant at STC in The Hague, in Operations Research. We had an adjoining office (I had the main office) where all the staff who worked for and with him would come in and out of throughout the day. Howard back then, in the 70's, was a lovely, kind, quiet boss who was ever appreciative of the work I did for him and when I left STC/NATO for other overseas adventures, I recall (and still have) the amazing glowing reference he gave me. He was a hard worker, dedicated to his craft, admired by those who worked with and for him, and I shall always remember his kind ways and the smile he wore each day. God Bless you in Heaven, Howard Whitely III. God Bless you all, his dear family. With his Maker, watching over you in spirit and love....until you each meet him again.
Respectfully, Christine (Barber) Marshall. (My surname was Barber when working at NATO.)
