Condolence: Susan our paths only crossed recently and briefly when Howard was in Menorah next to John’s room. Please accept our sincere condolences on Howard’s passing. We will treasure the cap you gave John as a remembrance of his sacrifice and bravery. God bless you and your family always. Diane and John Russo

Condolence: My oldest friend. Missed

Condolence: I am so sorry to hear about this. I knew Howie when he was with 33 Engine. He worked with my dad Roy Schmidt and I would go to work with my dad all the time. Although younger then Howie he always treated me as one of the guys. He was funny and one of the strongest men I ever met. God rest his soul.
