Anne Marie Dalton
I was sorry to hear of Howard's passing, but it is a comfort to know that he is now reunited with his beloved Marilyn. Howard was one of the first people that my father, Bill Dalton, met when he moved to Florida in the late 1990's. They worked together at SCORE, and formed a firm friendship based on mutual interests. Since my mother was not ready to leave her grandchildren in Massachusetts to move to Florida full time initially, my father spent every holiday with Howard and Marilyn for some years. When my mother, Mary Ann, eventually joined my father down south, she was given the same hospitality and friendship, and I was regaled annually with photos of Howard's amazing Christmas villages and Marilyn's wonderful cooking. In time, I was fortunate to be able to enjoy both myself. My parents both passed in 2017, three weeks to the day apart, after 60 years of marriage. Their niche is just six rows above that of Howard and Marilyn in the beautiful and serene chapel at Trinity Memorial Gardens. RIP, you are all greatly missed.
