Uncle Howard was one of the most kind and thoughtful human beings I have ever met. He always made sure everything was going good for you and was there with a listening ear when things weren't. I will miss talking with him on the phone and seeing him on his trips with Robert to Maine to see mom and dad. He is the type of person you just don't forget, I know I won't.
I'm so sorry for your loss. I grieve with you as you mourn his passing and smile with you as you celebrate his life.
