Howard was a blessing to us in simple ways that made our lives much easier. For example:- making sure a taller toilet replaced a very low one before hip surgery- patiently explaining the airflow from one room to another and how the thermostat workedHoward was very responsive to the needs of people living at College Gardens. We want you to know he was greatly appreciated. Many thanks.
