Passed peacefully into eternal life on November 15, 2020 at the age of 77.  Dear husband of the late Linda. Loving dad of Michael (Marcey) and Michelle (Larry) Jetzer.  Loving grandpa of Alexander, Isabella, Ethan and Ella.  Loving uncle of Shannon Kraeplin. Also survived by other relatives and friends.

Preceded in death by his parents Raymond and Irene and his cousin John Mead.

A visitation will be held at St. Charles Borromeo (5571 S. Marilyn St Milwaukee 53221) on Saturday, November 28th, from 9-11am with a Mass of Christian Burial at 11am.  Howard will be interred at a later date with his late wife, Linda, at Christ the King Catholic Church Cemetery in Wonder Lake, IL.

Howard enjoyed bicycling and many types of music, especially the blues.  He could often be found watching some type of sporting event whether it was the Packers, Blackhawks or the Cubs.  Howard enjoyed many things in life but very few of them measure up to how much he enjoyed be with his family; whether it was being together for holidays or always being a good sport when Apples to Apples or Charades came out, you were sure to find Howard right in the middle.  There was one thing that always surpassed everything else – being a grandpa!  Howard was extremely proud of his grandchildren and could often be found watching them play sports, teaching them about history and sharing his polish heritage.

    I am so very sorry for your loss. I worked closely with Howie for many years at Follett Software. We were both managers of departments that required a lot of coordination. He was such a gentle, kind soul and was always a consummate gentleman. He loved his wife Linda and his children so very much and spoke of them often

    I am so sorry to have just learned of Howard’s passing. He was a special friend to me from our high school days. Different schools but we enjoyed so much. We were prom dates for both our proms. So thankful I got to see him a few years ago for lunch. I enjoyed hearing about his grandkids. He will be missed,

    I am so sorry to hear of Howard’s passing. I met Howard in the early 60’s when we both worked for the Chicago and Northwestern Railroad in Chicago. We lost touch after I moved to California but years later he found me on Facebook and we reconnected. We got together a few times and enjoyed talking about the old days . I will miss hearing from him, My sympathy to his family. I will miss him.

    Howie and I connected through Follett Software. I was a young school librarian and needed a lot of help. Howie was so supportive. Howie told me I was his favourite customer ever. He was definitely my favorite tech support person ever. He was so sweet, kind, and helpful. We exchanged pictures. I told everyone I ever talked at Follett software that Howie was the best. I am sorry I didn’t connect with him again before he passed. For someone I never met in person, it’s amazing how much he meant to me. Since this time I have very happily married a man that is a catholic from Milwaukee that sounds very much in his speaking voice like Howie. Howie I hope you are with Linda who I know you loved very much!
