John and I always enjoyed our visits with Howard and Marilyn. During our last visit in 2016, Howard drove us to more of his favorite places. We thoroughly enjoyed them all. Wanting to surprise Howard, we decided to stay up late that first night and complete a puzzle he had left unfinished on a table downstairs. The next morning Howard announced at breakfast that SOME one had finished his puzzle. We all looked at each other and smiled. Soon after, we discovered that a new puzzle had been set up for us to enjoy. That was our brother Howard, always the perfect host. He will always be missed.
To all his dear family members, continued thoughts and prayers are with you. We love you all.

Robin, John, Mrs. Swanson and the entire family...what a wonderful respected man who always enjoyed his family and friends the most..He definitely was a special person to everyone he met
Howie used to come into Goodwill looking for puzzles, and he always complained about the price too !!!
Much love to his family and friends.
Very sorry to hear of Howard’s passing, hope his memories will give you great comfort, he was a wonderful person
I hope he is resting peacefully now after a beautiful 90+ years on this Earth. Sending my love to the whole Swanson family now, especially Marilyn.
He welcomed me into his home with open arms and always made me feel like part of the family during the holidays. Every summer he would show me and Ben the famed lighthouse and invited me to eat ice cream at least 3 times a day. His love for his family was so evident, and he set an admirable example of honest, mindful work and the importance of giving to all.
I will miss him dearly.
John,Robin and Family,
I'm so sorry for your loss. I remember hanging out at the Lake Michigan house with Robin and you and friends from Hoslers. My thoughts and prayers are with you and the family.
