Dear Jinger, Suzie, and Matt,

Please accept our deepest sympathies. Howard was such a kind and compassionate man who will be dearly missed. I will never forget that he volunteered to donate blood for me when I underwent surgery as a young girl, because he and I shared the same blood type. I will always remember that act of kindness and be grateful to him. May his memory be a blessing.

Dear Jinger, Matt & Suzie,

We are so sad to hear about Howie. He was one of a kind and by far the best Boss we every had. He always had a big smile and was easy to talk to. We have so many great memories. We are grateful he hired us both, he’s the reason we are married today. We are so sorry we lost touch with him through the years.
We hope his wonderful memories give you strength through this difficult time. You are in our thoughts and prayers. Tad & Auddie
