My condolences to his friends and family—everyone who loved him.
Howie love his family. He danced through life with a joke for every occasion. He was a force of nature. He will be missed.

May your beautiful memories help console you.
Love, Jayne Murphy
Howie was great, personable and excellent in his chosen profession. He was caring, informative and always available for help. It was always a delight to be in his company and share the latest joke. He will be truly missed
We miss you but you left us with many great memories.
I have known Alysa, his daughter for over ten years. She is an exceptional person in every way. To know her is an absolute blessing and I had to honor her Dad because he definitely played an important role in her life and therefore, he too must have been a rare and precious gem. May those that loved him and those he loved find peace and comfort through sweet memories. Prayers and love to Alysa and his lovely family.
One of the nicest men I have ever met .only regret is that I live so far away never had an opportunity to share more with him and his family.
Deena and I were so sorry to hear of Howards passing. For so many years, we seemed to bump into Howard and Pat wherever we went. It became a standing joke with us. We always said we would make plans to get together but time just flew by. We regret that we did not spend more time together because we got along so well. Our sincere condolences to Pat and the family. He will certainly be missed.
