Howard S. Barden

Sandra and I extend our condolences . We remember all the good times watching our sons involved in sporting events. Howard was an extremely fine person and will be missed. Sandra and Vic Heitzkey

I spent many a lunch hour at the little Lunar lunch room with Howie. How I loved his humor, his kindness and his love of life. We shared lots of laughs and stories about our kids who happened to be the same ages. Beautiful Lindy was a teacher to both my kids which gave us yet another connection. So blessed we all remained friends. Lindy, Sarah and Andrew my heart breaks for your loss of this gentle soul, this devoted husband, father and grandfather. Sending you love and prayers from both of us. Margo McBain/Jim DePass

Our condolences to family and his very dear friends. Howard was one of the kindest, most gentle men I have ever met. A Father figure and true mentor, whom I learned so much from when I joined the team at LUNAR Corp. Sharing memories of Maine and pictures of wildlife and nature, was inspiring, informative and very much a joy. He is missed and will always hold a special place in my heart, and I will carry beautiful stories to share. I will look to the stars and know he is smiling down on us. He was a wonderful gift. (I will always think of Howie when I am in Maine and take a moment to remind myself of his kindness to me.) -Debbie and Kent Ogden (New York)

So sorry to hear of the passing of an all around nice guy. We were both involved as leaders in Troop 132 where my son Mathew and Andy were active in Boy Scouts way back in the late 80's & early 90's. We had some great conversations and I have always had only fond memories of this great gentleman. We've not had any contact since those good old days, but man-o-man what memories and stories. RIP old friend.

Howie , My high school friend..... you was a kind and loving soul...I smile when I think of you and always will. Dance with our friend Linda Johnson Parady in heaven.... My sincere condolences to your beautiful family,blessed with many memories to help them thru this very sad and difficult time. God bless Kathy
