The importance of telling the truth
Importance of a strong work ethic
Commitment takes courage
Embrace your family
Enjoy your friends and new experiences
Embrace life
Judaism means something different to everyone
Knowledge is powerful
Believe in oneself
Dad has been my hero and my best friend throughout my life and
I realize how very fortunate I am that he will always be my daddy.
David Kent Warshavsky. I will miss my Great Uncle Howard . My earliest family memories include the house in Brooklyn , and visits to the the dental office to see my grandfather and Uncle are work. I remember when my Uncle Howie started doing bonsai , and later when he started to do Sumi painting . I was very close to my Great Aunt and Uncle , as my grandparents were very close , and I was fortunate to have had many Summers in New York. They were like having more grandparents , and always made me feel very special . I saw him this past March , and he told me that I was an inspiration for him taking up Sumi painting. That was such a generous thing to say . This is who he was .
Dear Howard and Florie,
Irv and I dined and danced, played bridge summers in N.J. and winters at Gleneagles, cruised and traveled on land together. Among my favorite memories we shared were the
sunrise at Grand Canon and our jeep trip from Sedona, Arizona to the top of the plateau, looking down at the Red Rocks and civilization. We felt like we were on top of the world.
With much love,
Roz Benedon
My condolences to Florie, Michael and Mady,
I remember uncle Howard as a lovely, loving man.
With love to you all
