So sorry to hear of Howard’s passing. I have great memories of fun times at BB, skiing out west, and more recently at Blue Mountain. Rest in peace.

We are so going to miss our friendship with Howard. From Lehigh football games with his encouraging yelling to the team or the cheerleaders to “ring the bell” to times on the golf course at Northampton CC. His sense of humor and loyalty was unmatched. It was a long and well fought battle and we are sorry to see that the cancer won. We love you Howard and certainly will miss you.
