Howard Roquet

My husband, Jiim Pollock, was born on the same day as Howie. As they lived less than 1/2 a mile away from each other,as kids they always celebrated their birthdays together. I started dating my husband in our freshman year and it wasn't too long before we were double dating with Howie and Barb. Soon Helga and Brian Cranston and Richie and BJ Johnson were added to our dating group.  Why am I writing this instead of Jim.? Perhpas it's too painful for him to lose his "favorite" childhood friend. He still tells the stories of mischief and fun that is synonomous with Howie's name! Here's one of them. The pocketbook game: where a pocketbook was attached to a string and laid along the side of the road. When a car stopped to inspect it, the bag disappeared as did Howie and others holding on to it, laughting in glee! Or I remember Howie playing his guitar to promote Jim in his Studnet Council President election cmpaign? I believe that was a FIRST at THS! the wonderful memories could go on forever (as Jim advised me not to in this commemt). As our hearts are saddend by Howie's passing, I can't imagine Barbara's feelings of loss.  As we remember the laughter and fun he gave us, we love and pray for you Barbara as you begin your journey without him, knowing we shall all met up again!
