I'm saddened to have just learned of Carl's passing. I knew Cal in the '70s and early '80s as a dance partner, a musician and Mr. Fix-it. Cal was always a gentleman.
My condolences to the family.

Dear Irene, Janet, and Evan,
I just heard about Cal's death and I wanted to pass on love to you all and my own feelings of sorrow at this great man's passing.
Cal was extremely friendly and welcoming to me when I moved to Boston in the late 1980s. I played many contra dances with him as a guest of Yankee Ingenuity and in various other capacities and I loved his subtle musicianship and good humor. He was the model of how to be with new folks coming round and I carry a little bit of his attitude with me still.
all the best, SAM

Things I will remember about Cal.
His enormous smile.
His evident joy while dancing and making music.
His exuberance.
The welcome he always extended to me whenever we met.
The obvious love he felt for his wife Irene.
The image of him gleefully playing bass with the Cambridge Folk Orchestra.
His importance to our folk-dance community.
Farewell, Cal. May your love of life, music, dance and family continue to exert influence on the universe from the sparkling kernel that is your soul.

Condolences to the Howard family. Our thoughts and prayers go out to your whole family. Psalms 147:3 says God, "heals the broken hearted, and binds up their wounds." May God bring you comfort and peace.

Condolences and bright blessings on a life that gave so much in music to so many in the folk community! Cal was a friend in music with whom I sang many times. And who hacked into more than one device for me to make it possible for me to use it beyond its limited possibilities.
Rest well, friend.

Cal was a treasured member of our Early Morning Consort (we played English country music at 7 am!,) at Ashokan Northern Week and an endearing dance partner. We've missed him the past few years.

He gave me the opportunity to learn to play the the bass fiddle at Dudley’s Carlisle Dance back in the early 1980’s and he lent CDS sound equipment for use at the AMC Mt. Cardigan Dance Weekend with George Fogg every fall for many years. He became a great friend to me and I will miss his down to earth charm!
