Dan Howard died suddenly Aug.18 of a heart attack. We met Dan and his wife Ruth on Mariner's Auckland to LA crossing a few years ago.
We had the pleasure of sailing with Dan and Ruth again on the Cape Town to FLL via Rio cruise Nov.-Dec. 2008 on Navigator.
Dan, who retired to the Houston area, worked in the oil industry and had lived in many hot climates in the Middle East and Asia, including Egypt and Singapore.
