  8. Happy Birthday to my fellow Aquarian!!! It has been so much fun meeting you and reading your interviews. Your sense of humor, knowledge of the Four Seasons (thanks again for helping me with the lyrics to “My Eyes Adored You”) and the way you relate to people are just a small part of what makes you so wonderful. See you in April!!

  22. Happy Birthday, Howard! It is a big honor having your birthday on this day of Super-Tuesday primaries and on the NY Giants SuperBowl parade. I’m glad I finally saw “Jersey Boys” with you last year.

  23. Howard, hope you are celebrating in style and having as much fun as you bring into the lives of others:) I enjoyed visiting with you at Christian’s show. See you in February! Lulu

  24. What a pick-me-up to come home from a long day at work and find that the first birthday card that I receive in the mail is from the guy whose birthday it is today. But that’s Howard – always thinking of others. Happy Birthday to you too my friend.

    Comment by David Cace — February 5, 2008 @ 10:41 pm

  25. Howard, let me be a part of the Jersey Boys family of Happy Birthday wishes. For a guy, who sadly lost his parents at too, too young of an age, you’ve gone on to create the most far reaching and extended network of close family members of anyone I know. Have a great year!

    Comment by Audrey — February 5, 2008 @ 11:06 pm

  26. Wishing you a very Happy Birthday, Howie! May you have many, many more birthdays to come so we can continue to have the pleasure and joy of having such a wonderful friend like you. Enjoy your big day today!

  27. I am sitting here reading and re-reading these wonderful comments. Thank you so very much; you’ve made this the best birthday ever.

    As all who have been a part of the extended “Jersey Boys” family agree, these past two years have truly been the proverbial “labor of love”. Having been a relatively predictable sedate CPA for the past thirty years, I’ve been so blessed to be given an opportunity by Susie and Dale to write about the theater, a true passion.

    But my real birthday miracle has been my meeting so many marvelous fans who have become real friends, either personally or via this Blog, as well as a very giving and devoted cast. The friendship and caring will extend way beyond “Jersey Boys”, if indeed that time ever does come. I am truly living Act II in American life. Thanks to Susie, Dale, and all of you for this remarkable tribute.
