I was extremely saddened to hear of the loss of Mr. Howard. I was able to get to know him during a resent illness he suffered and was recovering at home during my visits. He was a very kind and gentle man and I will miss him very much. I found his love of his family was his most cherished accomplishment. My thoughts and prayers are with all who he left behind.
