"Anne and family: So sorry to hear about Howard's passing. My thoughts and prayers are with you and all. Although I have lost contact for quite a few years, he was always in my memory. He was "one of a kind," and such a nice person to know. "

"I have had the honor of working with Howard for almost 38 years. Our controller said it well, Howard was a 'Teddy Bear'. No one was harder working, cared more about the customer, or was more cooperative than Howard. I always enjoyed those periodic occasions when I was working on a Saturday morning and Howard would stop by and enjoy a cup of coffee and some friendly conversation. Those conversations always included him talking about his family and his pride in his children. We will miss Howard as an employee but even more as a fine man. "
