Sending my deepest sympathies and thoughts in this very difficult time following the passing of Howard. He was a giant amongst men and will be greatly missed by all that knew him. I will never forget his infectious smile. Fair winds and following seas always, Howard.

Howard was an amazing man, filled with love and care for his fellow. I am deeply saddened and extend my sympathy to Lee and to Howie's family and friends. This is a tremendous loss I am sure, but he left his heart's light on us all and I am grateful for that, always.

Howard was a kind, gentle spirit who touched many lives with his love, encouragement, wisdom and his infectious smile. I feel blessed and grateful to have shared some special times with Howie and his family. Sympathy to my lovely Lee and all the family members who have lost such a wonderful man. Howard leaves behind a beautiful legacy of a life lived with purpose, values, friendship, love, and respect. God speed my friend xo.
