"Howie" as we all knew him at the Collegiate at the University of Winnipeg was a true character, which I mean as a sincere compliment. I can honestly say that through all the years of working with Howie, I cannot remember exchanging a negative word with him. He was completely devoted to his teaching and to the betterment of his students through his ability to make them feel comfortable and important. Howie spent many years as a dedicated and supportive boys basketball coach - it was his passion and he excelled in it. What strikes me most about Howie though was his devotion to his family. He was a true family man, meaning that John and Angela were the lights of his life. He was so proud of them. And I could tell that either when Howie was talking to his wife Elaine on the phone, or talking about her, that she was the love of his life and his soul mate. His voice always softened when he was talking about Elaine. Howie's life was full of love, friendship, and laughter, and he lived that life full and well. My sincere condolences to John, Angela, Elaine, and their extended family. Arlene Skihar - Posted by: Arlene Skihar, U of W Collegiate, Retired (Co-Worker) on: Jun 04, 2024

Howard taught me at the University of Winnipeg Collegiate. He was a great teacher and a very nice person. We were in touch occasionally in the years since. Condolences to the family. - Posted by: Ralph Levenstein (student) on: Jun 01, 2024
