What a gut punch. One of the nicest guys you could ever get to talk with about funny books or life in general. RIP.

I am an avid Cherry collector, and Howard has sold me hundreds of books over the years. He called me one day and told me he was in a hospice due to cancer. He said he was putting together a special box of Cherry stuff for me.

I cried after we hung up. Enjoy each day. You never know when your time is up.

Howard was the nicest guy in the world and always looking out for other people.

I will remember him always....

Such sad news, Howard was a true class act in every way.

 

RIP

Condolences to his family, and indeed, it's a huge loss to the community. Even his sales threads were full of history and knowledge. I'll miss reading his thoughtful words. R.I.P.

Very sorry to hear this. I asked about his health in August, but he was noncommittal and I didn't realize how ill he was.

 

He will be missed.

I'm saddened to hear about this. I had the great pleasure of meeting Howard twice. Once with his family about a decade ago when they came to see their daughter who was looking to attend UofT. Then a second time when Howard flew over to purchase a few books from me. I had him stay with us, and he was always such a kind, gentle soul. A disposition which flowed outward in his balanced views/opinions, and thoughtful participation here.

 

Definitely one of the hobby good guys. His family will be in my thoughts. He will be missed.

Jeez, this is really sad news. Another of our board friends passes.

Howard had the most unique sales threads.

Such a wealth of knowledge; he will be sadly missed.

RIP

I am sorry to hear this.

Just seeing his avatar always brought a smile to my face.

Heartfelt condolences to his family and friends.

Man that makes me sad. I had a number of transactions with Howard just this summer and he sold me a bunch of high grade four color books. The best part were the PM's back and forth, what a wealth of comic knowledge he was, and as stated, I could tell he was a very kind soul. My condolences to the family.

[MusterMark]

Very sad news.

 

I got some amazing things from him.

 

Howard brought the newest pedigree to the attention of CGC, the Haight-Ashbury Pedigree, in January 2013:

He will be missed dearly.

Wow, a real shock. I too enjoyed looking at his underground sales. I don't buy on here often but I'm pretty sure I bought from him.

 

My condolences to his friends and family

[Mxwll Smrt]

This is sad news. RIP Howard.

[Hado]

Reading everyone's comments and my own brief interactions with him, you realize what a classy individual we had, and realize while the news is sad and hard to hear, it was a life well lived.

 

Rest easy.

[alecholland]

My condolences to his family and friends. I'm very sorry for their loss.

Shocking! This so very sad and it seems it happened suddenly!

Thoughts and prayers go out to his family!
