He worked for a number of years in Los Angeles as an embalmer and funeral director for two of the major mortuaries there. He moved back to Tucson and worked in the mortuary business here until he started his own travel agency, 'Sail La Vie Cruises and Tours.' Howard actively ran that business until his death. From his Tucson business, Howard made all the travel arrangements for people in the U.S., who were adopting orphans from Russia. Howard is affectionately known as 'Howie' by his family and friends. Howie's life revolved around his children. They were his shining light and he was a wonderful, loving, caring, and devoted father. He closed his office in the early afternoon everyday so that he could pick his children up from school and be with them for the remainder of the day. There was nothing more important in life than his children. He coached his son's little league team. He took kids on numerous world-wide excursions and provided them wonderful opportunities to learn about other cultures. Wherever he went he took his children with him. Howie was a positive presence in life. He was friendly, cheerful and well-liked. He was always smiling and always had a joke to tell you. He had a kind and helpful heart evidenced by his many friends. His loss will leave a void in many lives. We were all enriched by sharing our lives with Howie.
