Marian;
I’ve met many people in my lifetime, but never anyone like Howard. I shall miss him greatly. He was always ready to help anybody do anything as you well know. John Burdick and I will be there for you at one of the servics. Looking forward to seeing you.
My sincere condolences.
Richard

Marian,
Howard and yourself have done so much good for so many people. You may never know the true value you both have been to those around you. Your time, and energy and especially your hearts and kindness exceeds more than one could imagine. Howard was a good and honest man that I was very lucky to have known and worked beside at the lodge. His work is done here but you and I both know, it will never be forgotten. Rest In Peace Howard Morgan. May our paths cross again someday my friend.
