We are so sorry to hear about the passing of your Father.

Howard was a wonderful neighbor & friend. We will miss his homemade applesauce & apple pies. Dennis & Howard has many nights around his fire cooking hotdogs & enjoying conversations about fishing & hunting. Every now & then I’d run over a golf ball with the lawn mower as Howard hit many into the field but a few went astray.
Rest in peace Howard you will be missed❤️
