I am deeply saddened to hear of this news. I can only echo all of the words of tribute to Howie. He was a gifted athlete, but much more importantly he was a humble, giving man who dedicated his life to his family and his community. He took the time to care. I have many fond memories of playing basketball with him in the rec leagues in Enfield. He had one of the highest basketball IQs of anyone I know, and he was the consummate team player, a quality which he also echoed in every aspect of his life. I also have good memories of attending college basketball games with him and several of the other guys from the Enfield rec leagues, including a road trip several years ago to see a game at the Brown gym, as guests of Russ Tyler. On that day, Howie and Lois gave a few of us a brief walking tour of the Brown campus, after the game. Again, one of many fond memories. It was my privilege to know Howie as my friend, and I would like to extend my sincere condolences to Lois and the Bromage family. I know he was a man of deep faith, and that he now is in the hands of the Lord. Rest in peace, my dear friend, and thank you for the gift of your generous spirit.
