On Monday morning, we were shocked to learn of the sudden passing of our dear friend Howard. For many years at Boca Lago, Boca Pointe and finally at Bocaire, Howard and Jan and us spent many happy hours together at social gatherings. Celebrating the wives mutual birthday in February was a special annual tradition; the last celebration was less than a week ago. Howard and Ed had lunch followed by golf every Tuesday for many years.
We recall the wonderful Berger visit to Toronto a few summers ago. We recall the hours spent discussing the issues at our condos.
Our condolences to Jan and the whole Berger family. We miss you Howard.
With love, Ed and Helen Yurman
Ronnie & Tony Desposito send our sincere condolences to Jan and her family. May he RIP
