Unhappy "Howard Agency" is gone... The Porsche community loses a good friend.

Howard Dranow, aka "Howard Agency," sadly passed away earlier this week. He was just 65.

A Pelican member since March 2004 (but a Porsche owner for decades earlier), Howard had nearly 1000 posts on the board.

I've known Howard since the early 80's, when I went to high school with his son Greg. Back then, he was one of the coolest dads in town... his outgoing personality was a memorable trait. More recently, Howard was my insurance agent (that explains his screen name).

Howard loved Porsches - he had many over the years. Most recently, he had his 914s and his 911 (996).

There is a get-together/memorial at his home in Westlake Village tomorrow for family, friends, and fellow car nuts. His family has contacted some of his PCA friends, so I wanted to contact his Pelican buddies as well. PM me if you would like more details (I am out of town on vacation, so I may not reply until later this evening).

- Mike

Real world distance is a downside of this cyberworld we play in. Please remind his family how highly we regard Howard.

Yes, please let his family know how many of us were touched by Howard's life and wish we could be there to offer our condolences...
