We are reaching out to ask for your support during a difficult time. Howard, known for his friendly conversations and dog walks in the neighborhood, passed away on November 29th from pancreatic cancer. He and his husband, 'Teacher Bob', both Navy veterans, have been friends to all in our community for years. In honor of Howard's life and to support Bob during this challenging time, we're setting up a fund to assist with Howard's cremation costs and provide financial aid to Bob.

Howard and Bob's 52-year journey together was marked by love, respect, and unwavering support. The neighborhood cherished Howard's daily dog walks, and hearing "Howard is in the alley" always brought smiles to our faces.

Your generosity in supporting this fund will honor Howard's memory and provide significant aid to Teacher Bob as he navigates this period of grief. Contributions will help manage the unexpected expenses of Howard's cremation, allowing Bob to focus on healing and cherishing the memories of his beloved husband's life. Every donation, big or small, makes a substantial difference in supporting these valued members of our community in their time of need.
