We are saddened by the loss of such a great neighbor. Howie was the first person to welcome us to the street. We will miss our chats in the back lane.

I was so saddened by the news of Howie’s passing. I had the great pleasure of meeting Howie as a result of our being in the car business and of having worked with him at Park Pontiac .. he was always so much fun to be around. Howie found humour in every situation and loved to make people laugh! If you were looking for him, just follow the laughter... my sincerest condolences to his family. May he Rest In Peace. - Posted by: Julien lacroix (Friend and past co-worker) on: May 03, 2021
