"From his early years at The Architects Collaborative to his recent contributions at Elkus-Manfredi, Howard's influence across the profession has been immeasurable. He was an accomplished planner and architect. He was also a warm and generous leader who shared his vision, time, and talent with colleagues and peers at the BSA, the BSA Foundation, and the entire Boston design community. More than anything I will miss his broad smile and wit anytime we met."

—Eric White, executive director, BSA and BSA Foundation
