“I was so very saddened to of Howie's passing. We went to Park Ridge grammar and high school together. He was one of the nicest young men who ever graced the halls of our school. I never remember him ever having an unkind word or doing an unkind deed. The world was a better place because men like Howie spread their kindness and concern. Wishing his family peace.
