    Howie, Dave and I went to SHS together and hung out a lot as kids. I’ve been in touch with him through Facebook the past few years.
    He was a wonderful guy and a generous friend. Nothing but smiles remembering Saturday morning wrestling at Howie and Dave’s. RIP old friend and condolences to Howie’s family.

    Sorry for your loss

    I am so sorry to hear of your loss.
    Recently I lost my dear mother,
    and found great comfort in the
    words of Jesus at John 11:11-14,
    where he likens death to being
    asleep, and at John 5:28,29 –
    “All those in the memorial tombs
    will hear his voice and come out.”

    Although my upbringing was away from the family I still consider you my uncle. And you have never treated me anything other than a nephew and then a friend. You will be greatly missed.
