Dear Howe family I worked with Gary on the Register copy desk for 14 years. He was a true newspaperman with talent and integrity. A gentleman and a dear friend. He was also a good golfing patmer. Although we haven\’t been in touch for so long, I will miss him. He will be in my prayers always. May God bless him and you, his fine family. John Quinn.

I worked with Gary from the mid-70\’s to the mid-80\’s at the Journal-Courier. He was a heck of a great guy. Had a pretty dry sense of humor, as I recall. I was sad to hear of his passing. He will be in my prayers. .Kip.
To a great and very wity gentlemen. A true Howe ! Our prayers and thoughts go out to the entire family and friends. From the Son of Barbara Howe Santoro
To Gary\’s family: While Gary and I worked together for most of his time at the Journal Courier and Register, like so many others, the times I truly remember the best where the many times Gary and I shared on the golf course. He was a heckuva golfer..and a lot of fun to play with. I haven\’t seen Gary in years, but when I heard the news yesterday, just hearing Gary\’s name brought a smile to my face. He was a fun guy to be around — always had a funny ad lib to tell. I miss him.
To Lorraine and family I\’m Barbara Santoro\’s daughter and she loved him very much. She always had wonderful stories and memories to tell of how much she enjoyed Gary. We got the priviledge of seeing him at their 50th wedding anniversary and at a party at my parents home. He was a wonderful man and I\’m sure he will be missed every day. We hope your fun memories will help you through this tough time. Fondly, Linda and Tommy Eames & family.
To Lorraine and Family, I know you will miss Gary and so will we, he was very special to me. Barb
