Howard Tate has passed away. I don't have all the details yet as it was just announced in the obits section this morning. He was soft spoken, kind, gentle and loved his wife with all his heart. I'm going to miss my visits with him. He was a fantastic person and musican. Heavenly Father has brought one of his beloved home to him today.

Sincere condolences from Melbourne, Australia.

By all means let his wife know of the many here who mourn his passing and uphold her and their family before the Father.

Howard and I have a mutual friend here in calif. He was saddened by the news awhile back, and I will let him know of Howard's passing. Howard was highly spoken of by everyone that knew him, even those who hadn't seen him in years.

Howard you will be missed here in this world, but you're gonna have a great time with the Father.

Love and condolences to his wife and family.
