I was a neighbor of Officer Howe and made time to play with the children around in the complex we both lived in. One was my son who is now 40 years old. It was like yesterday when you saw a dent on my vehicle and said "Too many cervezas". A good man and I enjoyed our short conversations. I haven't forgotten about you and are missed. Take care my friend until we meet again.
