Howard as King Melchoir in Amahl.
Howard was a unique individual. As a teacher, an actor, singer, theater director, SLOC board member, and yes even as a biker, Howard touched the lives of many people. Being a science/health teacher at Central Park Middle School, Howard took a personal interest in his students. For over twenty years Howard would take his students on various field trips. That big, burly man had a warm and kind heart. Howard, the gentle giant. A personality bigger than life. Howard’s contributions to SLOC are numerous and ones that have left an unforgettable mark.
