Condolences for Howard Leslie Scherer
My condolences.
I was very sorry to hear of Howard’s passing. We graduated together from Central Lee. Howard was quite the character and a sense of humor that was his alone. He was a very smart student and always had the answer to a difficult question. Prayers and sympathy to his family. Thinking of you Carol. 💕 Becky
Howard was one in a million! We graduated from Central Lee High School along with a ton of the best friends ever! Howard was always so kind to everyone he met, and didn’t know a stranger. So smart, you wanted to always be on his team as he ALWAYS knew the answer! We all had a great time at every event, Howard just made them better.
Our prayers and sympathy go out to Howards family, we are thinking of all of you at this very sad time. Howard made each day count, we all thought alot of him. So sorry for your loss.
