      John-thanks so much for sharing your memories. Howard was ill for many years but the last 20 were spent in a group home in Pawtucket where the residents and supervisory personnel treated him with respect and dignity so he was able to live his life on his own terms.
      He always considered you to be a friend.
      Thanks again for your kindness
      Mitchell and Sharon
