We just became aware of Howard's passing today, (28 OCT). Howard had performed audits for our agency over the last few years and we always found him to be the consummate professional. He was also quite kind and decent to be around. Many times companies find an auditor to be the “Outsider looking in”, but Howard made everyone feel at ease, yet performed his required duties to the letter. We are extremely sorry for your loss. On behalf of the Board or Directors, Administration and Employees of the Boone County Ambulance Authority.

Howard seemed to be feeling and doing so much better the last few months.I'm so sorry. After his surgery, he told me how much better he was feeling. I hope that the chelation he received helped with his quality of life. I will miss him. My heart goes out to you. I always asked about you when he'd come up for treatment and he'd say (9 our ot 10 times) that you were babysitting the grandchildren. I hope that they can help you through this time of sorrow. take care of yourself and may God Bless you. Mary (from Dr. Zekan's office)
