Remembering Howard takes me fondly back to simpler times spent growing up in Tilbury just across the street from the Herman family. Les was my very first friend and I spent many hours during my early years with him in the Herman household. Howard was always interested in what was going on among the kids and knew how to get us laughing with his dry wit...though sometimes it was hard to tell when he was serious. Later, as a young adult, I would see Howard every once in a while either in Beaver Lumber or the Brewers Retail Store where I worked during the summers while attending university. When I married and moved to Windsor, my wife Anne and I would see him in the Beaver Lumber there, where he worked for a few years near the end of his career. He always had the time to chat about Tilbury and what was going on in the Carrick family. I will miss seeing him but will always remember him.
