I knew Howard at Dufferin Heights and MacKenzie. We were also school mates at Hebrew School at the Borochov Centre. I used to get a kick out of secretly passing candies with him in the middle of class in Hebrew School right under the teacher's nose. News of his death came as a complete shock to me as he was always full of life appeared to be in good health (when I knew him) and ready to share a laugh. It's a shame that we did not keep in touch while we followed different paths in life. I was happy to read that he had gotten married and was the father of two children. At this difficult time, I send my heartfelt condolences to his family.
