Dear Pastor Howard , Until we meet again, thank you for your integrity, life of honor and faithfulness to the Lord , your family and to your church ... I have learned a lot from you and I will always remember your words of encouragement when I started working as a dentist " take Jesus with you wherever you go ".., the more I walk with God , the realization of Jesus becomes so tangible ,and God is more real to me ".... When joined university of western between 2011-2013 I was blessed to attend ODCF CHURCH and I learned from pastor Howard how to be faithful in the teachings of Gospel ... You are faithful and obedient servant Thank you that you brought praise to God by the example of your life.

I am greatly saddened at the passing of pastor Howard. He has been my pastor via the internet. I have been listening to his sermons repeatedly while going about my daily tasks as wife, mother and sister to others in the church of Christs. Whatever fruit my life may bear in the service of my Lord, a certain part belongs toHoward. I am happy for brother Howard, he is now with Jesus - wow! May we all follow his example in the faith and bring much joy and honour to the name of our God and Saviour, Jesus Christ. Thank youHoward, and thank you Lena, Jacob, Danny and Jonathan. Family Hendricken, Bern, Switzerland

Howard came into my life during our studies at the University of Western Ontario in the engineering department (fall of 1975 to spring 1979). Somewhere in the later years of our studies Howard, or "Howie" as I knew him, came into a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. The change was noticeable! When I heard of Howie's passing through my son who resides in London and is a believer, I was both saddened and yet greatly rejoiced. I rejoiced because after all these decades Howie was still going forward and faithful to His Lord. Many start well but finish poorly. Howie, you finished well! Praise God for your steadfast and faithful witness. Even though we mourn your loss, we rejoice that you are in the presence of your Lord and Savior. My wife and I will continue to pray for Howie's family and church as you continue in His faithful service. 1 Corinthians 15:58 Rick & Bente Plantt

Howard was a blessing to our family on so many levels of life and ministry. To say he will be missed is a significant understatement, but we take comfort in knowing there will be a great reunion one day. Sincerest love and prayers to Lena and the Katz family for loaning Howard to all of us for all these years. We are where we are in great part because of Howard's example, teaching, prayers and support. To God be the glory.

Ken and I wish to express our deepest sympathy to your family on the passing of Pastor Howard. On several occasions we drove to London from Wingham to worship at Open Door Christian Fellowship where our daughter Kendra and Derek Axford attend. We were always warmly welcomed there, and blessed, challenged and encouraged by Pastor Howard's message. May you have the peace of God's presence in this difficult time.

Garry and Carol Moon posted a condolence
When we met Howard Katz many years ago we knew we were being touched by someone very special. In particular, Garry experienced the joy of sharing considerable one on one time with Howard. Their friendship was founded on a mutual and abiding love for their Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. Just as their love and understanding of their Lord and Saviour will continue to grow on a daily basis, so too will their love and understanding of one another continue to grow. On a deeply personal level, Garry faced a complex medical procedure three or four years ago which the doctors feared might claim his life. He asked Howard to please conduct his funeral if the doctor's fears were realized. Without hesitation Howard agreed to do so. But Howard has now been called home first. He is with our Lord and, I know after a brief respite, his work will continue. So rest awhile my dear friend. I can hardly wait to greet you in our new place with a giant hug, a lingering smile and an eagerness to continue The Lord's work. Love ya!!

Howard possessed a mature but unpretentious faith. Humbly shared from the pulpit, it could be complex yet understandable but in everyday life, it was expressed with authenticity, grace and love. Full of the joy of the Lord, he was a pastor and shepherd whose greeting was a broad smile and a warm hug. Our sincere condolences to the entire family.

Dear Katz family. Thanks to Howard we came to London. We met him in Mexico (when we decided to leave Mexico and come to Canada) and he said to us with the biggest smile on his face and an open warm heart "come to London!". We will be forever grateful for his (and the whole Katz family members') hospitality and amazing welcoming and for every single blessing we received through him as a man of G'd and a friend. He will be greatly missed by many and his legacy will last forever. May all of you be comforted now and always.
