It is always touching to think of Howard so many holidays and summers and many times in between. He had a little green patch of earth by his doorway. It was early spring one year, and he was pleased with the primroses I planted by his door. Also he would boil up some very tiny bok choy in chicken broth and my sister and daughters loved that delicious custom on a chilly San Francisco evening. Sometimes he would refer to me as “kid sister.” With loving memories of Howard, Kendy

I can still recall hearing Uncle Howard’s voice over the phone whenever I’d call him. His voice was deep in tone and he recognized who I was by my voice. I’d try to trick him in telling him it was my sister, but he knew it was me! He’d always end our conversation with “ Ah--Lo—-Ha”, spoken with a longer “Lo”! Miss and love ❤️ you Uncle Howard!!

Howard has been a happy and dear part of my life for many years. Our family brings to mind recollections of him: humor, sayings, experiences, his cooking throughout the year. In rainy Seattle here, primroses are everywhere in the markets. I bought some to plant this week and remember planting some by his door in San Francisco years ago. He was pleased and so was I. Howard, you are missed!
As always, Kendy

Thank you Uncle Howard for "hosting" your nieces and grand-niece on our trips to D.C. I remeber how all the "other fellas" at your place would come over and flirt and say hi to us. Thanks for the memories. Love you!!

We are sad to hear of Uncle Howard's passing earlier this month. When I think back to the times with him here in S.F., it was clearly evident that he loved the Young /Lee family. He made the best attempts to be in the Bay Area for the family gatherings, traveling all the way here from Washington D.C.  He chose to live in Washington D.C. so that he will not be a burden to anyone. Plus all the good services he will receive from living there.

Another remembrance is that he really loved his godson, Felton. I remember his encouraging words to Felton, to keep trying and to do your best at work.

Although Uncle Howard is no longer here, he joins all our loved ones that have gone before us.

Till we meet again Uncle Howard,
Love, Alice & Brian

Howard was "an adopted big brother" and dear to our family since 1959. He called me "Kid sister,"
He taught me to drive when I was 16 and was nonplussed even when I
drove up onto the concrete island in the middle of the intersection at Bay and Van Ness in San Francisco.
It was a treat to go with him to Chinatown to have Saturday morning breakfast and "jook" with his big family.
I always felt his loyalty, generosity, and love.
Aloha, Howard.

When I was 19 I lived with Howard for the summer between my Freshman and Sophomore years at college. What an odd and magical pair we made! We had so much fun together. Howard was always up for a movie date, trips to Japantown for "noodoos", or a road trip up or down the coast.
My favorite memory of all is our trip to Santa Cruz and its boardwalk amusement park. He loved the wooden roller coaster so much (so did I), so we road it over and over, getting off one trip and going right back to the end of the line for another round.
Howard was so generous of spirit. I miss him.

I think this photo was taken at a celebration- perhaps either a birthday or anniversary.

Uncle Howard visited in Albany, a few times.  Mark and I were living in Albany until 2003.  This photo was taken of his first visit when all of us went to a sushi restaurant.  I recall it was a warm day.

My sister Sharon, cousin Pat and niece Patricia visited Uncle Howard.  I think this was our first trip as I recall making 2 visits to see him.  We're at the bar that was on the campus of his residence.
