Howie was my manager many years ago. He liked to bust people's chops but people forgave him because he was Howie and you knew that beneath it, it came from someone with a kind heart and soul. I am deeply saddened by Howie's sudden death. There was still so much life to live. And I know he wouldn't have wanted to leave his beloved wife and son behind. My condolences to Howie's family and close friends. May the memories be a blessing.
