My best friend, Murray Howe, has just lost his mother, Colleen Howe. It was expected, as she has been sick for some time, but the reality of it is a different thing altogether. A terrible loss.

The Howe family is famous in the sports world, but their legacy is in their kindness and generosity. Eg, I took this picture of Murray at a sports complex in Traverse City that their family donated. They have been involved in countless benefits and charities. Murray’s mom was the mastermind of most of it. She was a great American lady. She will be missed! My heart goes out to Murray and his family.
