Howard entered our life as a stranger and became our brother and our friend,  Howard will always be rememberd for never being negative, he always looked for the good in everyone and saw the beauty in  every aspect of life, He loved my sister Debra and all of his children more than simple words can say, He has made us laugh and treated us with respect, honesty and kindness may you all know that he is at peace  and is now painting  for us all with his memories. He will be greatly missed and always remembered. Love to you Howard your sister in law Cheryl, (sherry)

I first met Howard in Mrs. Smith's 5th grade class at Franklin Elementary School in Mesa, AZ. I was facinated with Howard & Harold being twin boys. I have twin sisters and they were the first twin boys I had the opportunity of knowing. Time has erased so many of my memories but I do remember the first time I ever saw them in crisp levis, plaid short sleeve shirts and polished shoes very neat. The things that were important then... I'm glad we crossed paths and to Howard's family, I am so sorry for your loss. Blessings, Linda Kurtz Smothermon
