I am grateful that I can participate today from Hawaii. I am one of five sisters, no brothers. This predominance of women around the house meant that other than my own father, Tom Howell knew me earlier and for more years than any other man. I was a very little girl when he began dating my big sister Sharon, I am guessing between 4 and 6 years old. I have clear memories of riding around Milwaukee in his convertible corvette, top down, giggling in the wind. Because of this long relationship and because my father had passed away, Tom gave me away at my l973 wedding to Michael Gibson. Another great memory is while we were all watching the Packers during the super bowl - not sure what year - Tom did a forward flip off the couch when Bart Starr pulled off his successful quarter back sneak. Remarkably he did not get hurt. Goodby Tom. When I think of you it is with memories of kindness, a soft voice and a warm smile. Miss you Tom. Thank you for your love.

I will miss you grandpa. It is almost impossible to put into words how much. Being out in Arizona is hard and I wish I could be there to say goodbye. Many dont know you were also a Yoyo champion and when I was a kid you gave me the yoyo you won. I still have it. It is sitting here with me as I watch the service. I will miss the times out on the lake by your condo. The big boat you had still has one of the biggest wakes I have ever seen and was perfect for jumping a tube. It was a blast having you out there pulling us around. I always loved that place. It was hard when you moved out of it because that was always Grandpa's place. All of the Christmas celebrations with the family there, thanksgiving watching football, games in the back yard overlooking the lake. I remember and will cherish it all. Love you so much!

Tom was a great competitor and businessman, yet always fair, honest, and friendly. Our paths crossed many times over the years and I can say that it has been an honor because every time we had a chance to interact, we both got better as a result. For that i am grateful. Heartfelt condolences to Chris, the rest of Tom's family, and the great Techmaster team.

I have known Tom Howell since 1999, when I interviewed for a position at Techmaster, 21 years later, I am still a loyal employee at Tom's most loved company. It has been a great honor to know and to have worked with Tom. He was one in many more than a million. Rest in peace my dear friend. My sincere condolences to Pam, Chris, and all his family. I have many wonderful memories of this lovely man. His infectious smile will never fade from my memories.
