soundmanjohn Posted July 11, 2019 Report Share Posted July 11, 2019 I suspect that many of you have come across Howard Kaufman in his role as New York's Lectrosonic tech expert and will have benefited from his expertise and generosity over the years: Howie is now desperately ill with a Stage 4 Glioblastoma and his family are fundraising via a GoFundMe page to help with his care. If you can spare a few bucks, please go here and donate. https://www.gofundme.com/f/howie039s-recovery?fbclid=IwAR31xyj2yFKYh4b7EUz5h4LZRfiVdA8PytZO257JqyUlHNbFIY_KFMOzy6c Thanks, John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundmanjohn Posted March 3, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2020 Sad to report that Howie passed away on Friday last week, surrounded by his family. There's a memorial service on March 15th, details are on his son Alex's Facebook page. https://www.facebook.com/events/533617077284009/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karlw Posted March 4, 2020 Report Share Posted March 4, 2020 Thank you, John. We all miss Howard terribly here at Lectrosonics. He worked here for 23 years as our technical representative for the Northeast US region. He has helped countless dealers, broadcast facilities, Broadway theaters, sound mixers, sound designers and students over the years. He had a unique combination of a very "human" approachable, friendly style, with deep technical knowledge. There will be no replacing him, of course. But we will remember him and his endless puns, amazing attention to detail, New Yawk accent, and tireless work ethic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
