Remembering a wonderful car journey from Fundon to Montreal with my Uncle Howie to spend one of my most memorable summers with my big cousins and my Auntie Lil.

Thinking about you and sending lots of love from England to Lillian, David, Stephen, Sandy and Donna + family & friends xoxo

Dear Aunt Ann,
We’re so very sorry to hear of Howie’s passing. Howie was a dear gentleman who showed kindness and took interest in anyone lucky enough to be in his company. He always made you feel like part of the family and he felt like part of ours. I do know that both of my dear parents enjoyed time together with you guys. He is in good company now. I sure wish I could be with you right now ! Xox Judy and Gary and Family
My heart goes out to Ann. She made Howie so happy and gave so much of herself to him. My heart also goes out to his children who loved him so much. Howie was and is my father-in-law. I loved him very much. He was fun, funny,, intelligent generous and warm-hearted. We had many heart to heart discussions and he advised me and helped me on many things including career, children and home. The world is a dimmer place without him. Carolyn

Just to note that I failed to identify ourselves in
the preceding message!!!
Dear Ann, Family & Friends of Howie;
It is with deep sadness that I received word of Howie’s passing. I first met Howie in my Bible study group when I returned to St. Thomas’ a few years ago. Howie would often add so many helpful insights into the various passages of scripture we might be covering . Thus, began our friendship and christian fellowship which we have enjoyed so much together. He always displayed that warm and pleasant sense of humor whenever we had occasion to meet. We now commend his spirit to a loving Lord, and pray for God’s peace in this our time of bereavement. Every blessing!
