I was so very sorry to hear of Howard’s passing. Though I only met him a few times many years ago, he left a lasting impression on me — such a kind, genuine man with a calm strength and a gentle way about him. There was a quiet warmth in the way he spoke, and it was so clear how much he loved and cared for his family.
I remember thinking even then that he seemed most at peace when surrounded by those he loved — full of quiet pride, humour, and that unmistakable sense of family connection that defined him. It’s easy to see his influence in Danielle with her warmth, love and kindness.
My thoughts are with Danielle, her mum, and all the family at this incredibly difficult time. I hope that the many wonderful memories of Howard — his laughter, his strength, his love — will bring comfort and remind you all just how deeply he was loved and respected.
Rest peacefully, Howard. A true gentleman who touched many hearts and will never be forgotten.
