I want to express my sincere sympathy for the loss of your loved one and share the hope promised in the Bible. God has set a day in which he purposes to judge the inhabited earth in righteousness by a man whom he has appointed, and he has furnished a guarantee to all men in that he has resurrected him from the dead. (Acts 17:31) If your heart yearns to see a loved one again, study the Bible to make this resurrection hope your very own.;

I will always remember staying at your home years ago when our kids, Jill and Jay were youngsters, and what wonderful hosts you and Skip were. We had such a great visit, inspite of your attack cat! We enjoyed Skip's humor, and his quick wit and intelligence, sharing pictures and stories of his visit to see the Space Shuttle. We will remember him with fondness and we are thinking of you, Karolynne and Christi, Chris and Whitney. Our sincere heartfelt sympathy, Jim and Rita;

My condolences to the family. Skip was my dad's best buddy ever! I can remember him, Karolyn and Kris coming to visit us in Florida and see a night launch of the Space Shuttle. I know he was the best man at my mom's and dad's wedding and he will be missed by everyone. God Bless. LeAnne Gagliardi;

Karolynne, Christi and Whitney, We were blessed to know Howard and through him you. He was a wonderful man with a gift of knowledge. We often referred to him for the answer to a trivia question, or dispute amongst the "know it alls"! "The Price is Right" will never be the same again.We would love to tell Howard to "come on down" but the lord has called Howard to "come on home". We Love You All, Your Friends, Dick and Lisa;
