Friend and former business associate
I am currently travelling in Mexico and learned of the sad news from my sister. Howard was a great man to work with, to learn from, and to party with. He was so instrumental with the success of Thillens Inc. during his 40 plus years we had the pleasure of his leadership. I know it must be hard for your family, but you can be sure that my dad has already happily reunited with Howard, "his other son." My condolences to all.
