My prayers and condolences go out to Howard's family. When I read of this earlier I had no words. So I fired up my 914 and went for a half hour drive to think about life. I feel a little cheated that I never had the opportunity to meet a man so many in this community hold in such high regard. From his posts on these boards I believe I would have also felt the same way. I hope his journey has many twisties.

I didn't write this... but it fits.... It's called "Afterimage" by Rush:


Afterimage


Suddenly, you were gone
From all the lives you left your mark upon

I remember
How we talked and drank into the misty dawn
I hear the voices

We ran by the water on the wet summer lawn
I see the footprints
I remember

I feel the way you would
I feel the way you would

Tried to believe but you know it's no good
This is something that just can't be understood

I remember
The shouts of joy skiing fast through the woods
I hear the echoes

I learned your love for life,
I feel the way that you would
I feel your presence
I remember

I feel the way you would
This just can't be understood...


-----------------------------------------------------------

Godspeed Howard...

May your road be smooth and twisty,
Your 914 full of gas and running strongly,
And your jackstands no where in site.

We are deeply saddened. My wife and I were closely keeping our eyes on Howie's progress and hoping for full recovery. It appeared that his condition was improving daily ... then I awoke to read this very disturbing news. Our sincerest condolences go out to his family and numerous friends here.

It has been our pleasure and an honor to know Howard. We will miss him very much ... especially his wonderfully humorous attitude towards life. I know a lot of you will miss him too ...

Howard recently assisted us in acquiring a 914 for my wife. This morning, she officially 'named' her little car ... 'Howard' (IMG:style_emoticons/default/howard.gif)


I actually lost two good friends this week ... Melanie, a gal who could easily be Howard's counterpart (relating to attitude towards life, just the other gender) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving-girl.gif) , and Howard (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

Two uniquely funny people who coincidentally passed due to the same condition ... hope to God the 'comes in threes' thing just isn't true.



Hope we meet again some day 'Uncle Howie' ...

I am also deeply saddened by the loss of a great 914 advocate and friend to many here. I never knew or met Howard but I am heartened by how he has touched so many.

Perhaps someone (an administrator? a best friend?) can write a few words about his life, his contributions and save it as a nailed post. I came here long after the passing of Lapuwali and although I have checked the info in that memorial section many times, I have not found anything else about the man.

Maybe a nailed post about Howard would somehow fit in the Lapuwali section, a brief memorial and future reminder about the "fallen teeners." For after all, Howard is about the spirit of the car and should remain part of the spirit of this, my favorite, site!

Very sorry to hear this, and I will keep Howard's family in my thoughts. I definitely feel I've missed out as I never had the privilege of meeting the man in person.

To Howie's Family,

Thank you for sharing him with us! Among those who stand, do not sit; among those who sit, do not stand. Among those who laugh, do not weep; among those who weep, do not laugh.

With deepest respect,

Daniel E Callicott

Sadly, I never met the man, but I feel like I knew him well. His humor, wit and irreverence set a standard for this group that means no one takes themselves too seriously and the best thing anyone can do is help out a fellow teener.

I'll miss hearing about the scheduling of Services for Our Lady of Mulholland. A pity he'll never use that AAA card again.

Go in peace Howard.

I am really sorry to hear the bad news about Howard and his turn for the worse.

I met Howard at WCC04 and spent quite a bit of time with him then. Jeroen, Monique, myself and Howard hung out a bunch and swapped cars so us long distance drivers had a 914 to drive in instead of the rental cars. So we all got a good dose of Howard's non-stop humor and he rode along on the trip along the coast....great fun.

A true loss to the community in general! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/thumb3d.gif)

Sorry to hear about Howard. I also am one of the many who only knew Howard from his posts here and others saying how he was always helping someone in need. Go in Peace Howard, you will never be forgotten by your many friends here.

I never met Howard, but I knew him here.

That I feel such a deep loss is testament to his capacity to reach the marrow.
That was a good man, and that means he made the world better.
