Howie, Happy 73rd Birthday. 

Well Buddy, it's your birthday on the 30th and can't believe it's almost 4 years since we last spoke. It always feels like yesterday. I miss our conversation and not hearing your voice. Our talks about nothing or the more serious ones about The Yankees.
But mostly, I find myself smiling. So today is bittersweet, missing you and being so incredibly grateful for every moment we had. Italy will never be the same.

Happy Birthday my dear friend, you're never forgotten.

PS. We are still sleeping with that piece of shit quilt!!!!

Love 
Len

Howie’s sense of humor was part of what we all loved about him but his sincerity, his frankness, and the deepness of his love and friendship was unparalleled.

I was very close with Howie for many years and still think of him almost every day. His stories, his sayings, his jokes, but the one that sticks out is when Frankel’s daughter married Mick Fleetwood of Fleetwood Mac.

Not only when the wedding was postponed because her father passed away in LA, but when Howie tried to help the newly wed couple with some home furnishings and then was questioned about what he did.

He was all heart and was always looking to help the underdog.

Another of my favorite stories  was when Howie was sitting across the table from a client who is asking for the heavens, the Earth, the wind, the sun and the ocean and how he then asked her if she had a makeup mirror. She gave him the mirror and he looked at himself and in response to the requests that she was asking, he said one of the best linesvI’ve ever heard. 
…..(and you’ll have to call me for that line!! I just can’t print it here!)

Forever with me; forever missed!
Rob

Howie,

Remembering you fondly as a great boss and more importantly a true friend and mentor.
I always smile remembering you blurting out "Tremendous" when something nice caught your attention.
RIP my friend.

I always remember Howard’s sense of humor! We would sit around the table and just laugh having so much fun being together. The simple times were the best times. Love and miss you Howard, every single day!

Hello Mallow Family
I  met Howie during Textile market week.  He was very kind. He told me - Diptii - the response on your designs are overwhelming - I have never seen such response in my whole career. We all went for dinner too. I wish if I could have met him once more.

To Howie’s Family~ 
I had the pleasure of working with Howie  over many years in various home furnishings companies. I was a buyer and he was my salesman,. He was always professional and in the details, but more importantly just a very nice guy. He had a great sense of humor and always spoke to kindly of his wife and kids. He was a mensch, an all around great guy. I am so sorry to read of his passing. May his memory be a blessing. 

Dearest Mallow Family, 
I am lucky to have met Howie in the Home Textile Industry, so many years ago.
Howie was a straight shooter - always telling it like it is!
What a fantastic sense of humor Howie had. He said things to me that were so funny,  I continue to say them to others today!
Rest assured - Howie lives on....
A true ,  sincere, and generous  friend, he will be sorely missed.

Robin,Beth and Brian,

I am so saddened to hear that Howie has left us.  As you know Howie was the one who gave me a chance with my first buying job.  He was a great boss right from the beginning but grew into a big brother and great friend.
I will always treasure the memories of the domestic outings we would go to every year. I would come over early in the morning and Howie would be waiting in his 240Z, T tops down and we would head off to a great day of golf, softball and bar b que. I will always treasure just spending those days together and just talking and joking as we were driving.
Truly a person who cared deeply for everyone he knew.
He was always speaking of how proud he was of Beth and Brian and whenever he mentioned Robin there was always a twinkle in his eyes. 

He is truly one of those rare people who we will all greatly miss but always remember for his kindness and generosity.
I owe him so much and will be eternally grateful to have had the great pleasure of working for Howie and the privilege to call him my friend.


Howie’s passing is a terrible loss for so many, especially for you, Robin and your family. I’ve known Howie since Jr. high and he was my first “guy friend”! He was always so funny and always made me laugh. Recently when I was going through a tough time I confided in Howie and from that day on, he sent me a funny story, video or joke..EVERY SINGLE DAY! That is a true, loving friendship. 
Howie and Robin met in high school and have been loving each other ever since. They played off each other, Robin being Howie’s “straight man”. They were truly a loving and fun couple to be around. Robin, may your tears of sorrow eventually become tears of laughter as you remember all the happy, crazy Howie times and stories. With our heartfelt condolences, much love and warm hugs to you and your wonderful family, Astrid and Ed.

Dear Robin, Beth & Brian,

I am so sorry to hear of the loss of Howie. He was a very special person who I genuinely loved for his good heart, his love of family & for his work ethic. His sense of humor was definitely world class. He always made me laugh.

 He was the real deal & we shared so many good, bad & crazy moments working together for many years.  Many unforgettable stories that we both treasured.

You are all fortunate to have such wonderful memories you shared with your husband and/or father over the years. I know he loved you all very much. 

I will miss Howie and never forget him

All my best to you all
