Dear Marion and Family, 
I am so sorry to hear about the loss of Howie. He was a great guy and I had the pleasure of working with him on many storage industry initiatives through the years. The relationships so many of us had with Howie was special and he clearly touched so many people in his professional career. Those memories will live on forever and we all will always have those wonderful memories of times together. My prayers are with you and your family at this time. 

Sincerely,

I will miss his enthusiastic teaching style and willingness to help educate people.  And more specifically his help to me when I was first starting out in the storage arena.  First met Howie at SNIA about a decade ago, and just discovered the sad news this week in Santa Clara at SNIA.  I will miss him.

Howard was a true teacher, friendly to all and a scholar of scholars.  I had the privilage of meeting Howard during my training courses at HDS.  He really helped jump start my career as a storage system engineer.  I still use the skills he taught.
I'll miss you Howard thank you for your kindness a contributions to society to make this life better.

I am deeply sorry to hear of your loss. Howie was a burst of energy and meeting him always brought a smile to my face. I know all of us in the storage industry will deeply miss his personal and professional contributions. My thoughts are with you in this difficult time!

Dear Marion,

My deepest sympathies to you and the Goldstein family. I met Howie years ago in Boston with his brother. I closely worked with Howie for two  years at SNIA. He was passionate about training people and he was passionate about his booth. Howie was an excellent trainer and I will miss him. He called me out of the blue one day to ask how was I doing. We talked about old times and his CompTIA training plans. I will miss Howie.

I had the chance to learn from him last summer in Colorado Springs! I really liked his style of teaching :(
My condolences!

I have a million Howie stories, some of them even true. Think I remember most about him was one SNW when he videotaped my SNIA Tutorial (green data center) and patiently walked me through the video from a set of notes he had prepared. Must
have taken him hours to prepare, not a dime charged, and some very helpful stuff. Best to his family; there are a lot of savvy storage networking people out there because of his work. Rest in peace.

Rest In Peace, Mr. Goldstein. Thank You for your amazing contributions, to both technology and education. You will be missed...
Sincerely,

Dear Marion, 

The loss of Howie is felt far and wide.  I knew Howie through our work at Storage Decisions conferences over the past many years and more recently, our work this past year with SNIA & CompTIA.  My thoughts are with you and your family.

Dear Marion,
I am going to miss Howie, and working with him over the years has been a blast. I know how many people he has helped and how importaint he has been to our lives, I can't fathom the loss you are feeling right now. I hope it helps you to know that we sympathize and will miss him with you.

Dear Marion,

As the volunteer chair of the SNIA Education Committee, I am shocked reading the sad news this morning.  Howie was a unique individual who had great passion and energy with everything he was a part of. I've had the pleasure of meeting you in person in the past but I've known that Howie loved you and the family greatly from past conversations that I've had with him at various events.  I will miss Howie and his insights and will keep you and the family in my prayers.

Dear Marion, Joseph, Michael and David
We are so sorry to hear about the loss of your wonderful husband and father.
We know the holidays with you and your family will never be the same.

Dear Marion,

What a shock. It is hard to say anything at all.  We've known you & Howie for so long.  Now part of all of our universe is missing. 

You, Joseph, Michael, David, and Howie are all in our prayers.

Gerard and Pamela

Dear Marion and family,
I volunteered with Howie at SNIA.  Our last conversation was about the Hands-On Lab program, an activity important to both of us.  I will miss Howie's passion and commitment to the storage industry and the people who work in it.  He touched many lives, and I know his energy to do so came in large part from your support and love as his family.  Howie will be missed.

Sincerely,

Marty Foltyn

Howie was always willing to help other folks out. He had a big heart and was never at a loss for words. He will be missed...

Marion, Joseph, Michael and David,      
 Howie, and all of you, have touched our lives. For this, we are incredibly fortunate and thankful. Our hearts are with you. 
With great affection,

Hello Marion, 

My name is Chin-Fah, and I am from Storage Networking Academy in Malaysia. I only got to know Howie last month and we spoke twice over Skype discussing opportunities in Asia.

In those 2 conversations I had with him, his generosity and welcoming me with open arms were the 2 things that stick out for me. He gave me fatherly advice even though I am halfway across the world from him. 

I am deeply saddened by his sudden passing and would like to extend my deepest condolence to you and your family. God Bless.

Marion,

It was a pleasure to work with Howie on many projects.  His drive, zest, creativity and dedication were unmatched.  
I only work closely with Howie for the past year, but throughly respected him -- his integrity, focus and purpose were always there.
I know you a little through working together at the Spring SNW.  My condolences and to you and your family.  Let me know if there is anything I can do to make the abyss even slightly smaller.

Dear Merion,

Words cannot completely say what  grief we all feel.  Howie was a great friend.  I came to know him reslivitely recently, and we had many wonderful conversations together.  He was a great person, a source of creativity and good.

We will miss him intently.

Please reach out to me in whatever way you see fit.

Dear Marion and Family,
On behalf of the SNIA Board of Directors, Technical Council, Staff, Education Committee, worldwide members and volunteers, please acccept our profound condolences on the loss of your dear spouse and friend.  He was a most valued industry professional and contributor to the training of thousands of individuals and his loyalty to SNIA and our mission will always be appreciated.  He will be sadly missed.   
-  Leo E. Leger, Executive Director, SNIA

I knew Howie through work with SNIA and now with CompTIA. I'm not sure there was ever a more memorable person in the SNIA organization, particularly in the Education part of SNIA, than Howie. In a world where nuance and the art of almost saying something seem to be prized, where overpromising and underdelivering is a commonplace, Howie was a refreshing change. You always knew where you stood with Howie. Sometimes that wasn't always the most comfortable position to be, but that clarity gave you at least a clear sense of where Howie thought things stood. To quote the Hebrew proverb which most comes to mind with Howie (and we talked religion a lot), "better is open rebuke than hidden love." Howie brought a lot of both to his game, as one of the best technical teachers I have had the pleasure to learn from, and he will certainly be missed. I wish the best for Marion and Howie's kids--how proud he was of their educational attainments. Technology education in general, and storage education in particular, all will be at a great loss without him. I can already imagine the educational committee meetings he is now having with Moses and Jeremiah. Rest well, my friend, from life's hard labors; yours is a rest well earned.

Dear Marion,
Even though we never met (I think I talked with you once or twice on the phone), I just wanted to express how deeply saddened I am about the death of Howie. Howie and I worked together to produce his self-paced course on GogoTraining. In the 4 months that he and I worked together, I saw so many beautiful characteristics. He was loving, fun to work with, honest, passionate, diligent open to new ideas and so creative. He always made me laugh, and I thoroughly enjoyed working with him. He was so full of life and zest. I will miss working with him, getting those sudden Skype calls, sharing some new tidbit of networking or storage. I know he cared so deeply for you - you were his anchor, and he referred to you often. Even though I live in Virginia, please know that in honor of him, I would do anything to help you out.

Sincerely,
Jeanne Allen
