We shared back yards and memories in Marengo. "Mr. Howard' was a surrogate grandpa to our children. He kept a swing for them and treated them with $2 bills, which were really special to them. We couldn't have chosen better neighbors and friends. Joel, Nancy, Bethany, Micah Kelsey
Dear Gerry, Howard is truly one of the greatest men we have ever been honored to know. Your family is very special in our hearts. Carol -- Will never forget our trip to Florida. What wonderful memories I have of your dad there. Our love, Carl & Kathy
