May God give you peace and comfort. When we lose a love one we experience pain because we knew thier love. Not everyone in life has that experiance, so we must thank the lord for this. I can see that Howard was loved and was well respected by famiily and everyone who knew him. Never did I hear him speak a cross word. I worked more directly with his Son H, Jr. than HP. I always admired Howard Sr. for raising such a fine young man. I considered my self blessed to have had the experience of working with him.
