Sad news :( Sad news :(



Howard was the long time leader of OOTP's roster team. He was one of the best friends and supporters that OOTP has ever had and a tireless advocate for the game and the sport that he loved so much.



Even if you've never interacted with him, you'll have seen his influence on the game through the work he did on the roster set. He devoted an enormous amount of time and effort into working on the rosters and organizing the team. He cared equally about having the details of the most obscure recent DSL signing and that of the biggest and best known MLB stars being in-game and correct.



All of us here at OOTP thought the world of Howard, and we will miss him greatly. We'll miss him not only for all he contributed to the game, but for what he was as a person. He was always positive, energetic, diligent and passionate. We're proud to have been able to call him our friend and to have known him even for all too short a period of time.



We're certainly not the only ones hurting right now, and we'd like to express our best wishes and deepest condolences to his family and friends, including his mother Sharon, as well as his brother and sister and all of the others who knew him and loved him. We hope that they'll be able to find comfort and peace at this difficult time and that they can find some joy in knowing how much he was appreciated by all of us at OOTP.



Goodbye Howard, you'll always be in our hearts and we'll think of you as often as we play or work on OOTP.
