March 22nd marked the first anniversary of Howard Klang's passing. 

We played cards together for many years with our other fraternity brothers. 

It's  not the same without him. 

Rest in peace.

Howard was a student in a chemistry class I taught at Queens College.  A few years later I met him by chance at the Foodtown in Hewlett.  "Howard," I asked, "have your grown?  You seem taller than when you were in my class."

"No," he replied, "I've been this height ever since you knew me."  He added, "I think instructors look down on students."  It is a pun worth remembering.

It turned out he was in computers.  A comparison of our earnings motivated me to look into switching careers.  Howard moved on from computers, but that's what I've been doing for about 30 years.

Later, he became my broker.  His only problem was that he didn't treat me like my mother.  Howard used broker speech whereas my mother would say, "Sell it you damn fool."

It may not seem funny now, but when we couldn't get into a van Gogh exhibit, Howard suggested that we threaten to cut off our ears unless they let us in.  We laughed ourselves silly.  We laughed even harder as mothers jerked their children out of the path of the two giddy lunatics.

I miss him.

Sincere condolences to Shirley and Toby and the rest of the family.  We are so sorry for your loss.  Our thoughts are with you.  Judy Bentkover & Peter Allaman

I knew Howard for 45 years. He was a man of honesty, integrity and service to others.

I will miss him.

I would like to send my condolences to Howard's family.  Howard managed my family's account and guided us during some difficult times with the passing of my sister Dolores (Dee).  I don't know what we have done without him.  Thank you Howard for all that you did, we will always remember you!  Say hello to my sister for me!!!          Ben Catalano

Howard was a wonderful childhood friend who shared many interests and talents with me.  It is a shock, his passing at so young an age.  He will be missed.
