Howard & I were buddies in Jr High and oh, how handsome he was. Always the beautiful smile for everyone and never without his welcoming friendliness. I remember when Hababa's opened on Grace St and we all were there over & over. It all seems just yesterday. I send my heartfelt sympathy and prayers to the wonderful Awad family this day and always.  (I was Jenny Crouch those years ago)

Howard was a very nice man. Hababa's was a safe place, because he made sure it. I have very fond memories. Rest in peace. My prayers and Condolences to the family

My dear sweet friend, you will definitely be missed.  I’m so glad I got to see you and say hello at our 50th reunion.  I loved hearing you play again with your band buddies.  Sending loving thoughts to the family.   RIP my friend.  

So sorry to hear of your passing Howard.  There was no one quite like you.  Rest in peace old friend.  Sending prayers for your family.
