The quiet, gracious, & productive impact of the Leonard & Marilyn Howard team lives on even though Leonard has transitioned to Heaven. One personal example is his convincing me, as a fellow Kaiser physician, to join him as a member of The Hawaii Medical Assn & Honolulu County Medical Society. I presently continue to follow the trail he blazed there as a leader in both organizations. He is sincerely missed as a friend, neighbor, & physician colleague but his honored legacy survives him. Shirley & I offer our condolences to Marilyn & Family.

Condolences to the Howard family for your loss. I served with Dr. Howard in the Hawaii Army National Guard from 1981-1984. He was a great boss.
