Howard was a lifetime friend, mentor and partner. We shared sixteen wonderful years as business partners before he retired in 2015. We have always remained in touch. His endearing smile, sense of humor and ability to handle any situation that came his way, will be remembered by anyone who met him, business or pleasure. He cared for all of us as if we were family, a great family man with a great family. Howard’s passing has left an enormous hole in our hearts. Howard was loved and respected and will be painfully missed.
