My memories & thoughts of Howard:
I worked with Howard at JCPenney Metro District in Kansas City for four years.
In 1974 I was assigned to the Dallas Texas Southwest Regional Office. Howard was also promoted to that office a few years later.
We always enjoyed working together,lunch together and especially ice cream at Baskin Robbins. At times we arrived before they opened. We would open the blinds, turn on the lights and get them ready for business. Lots of good memories.

I first met Howard in 1966 when we were both with JCP. He could always be counted on for full follow through on an assignment. Talked to him in last 6 weeks. I am really surprised as he made no mention of any illness. Great guy. Sax

I had the honor of meeting Mr. Wiese while working at the bank he frequented. Such a sweet and kind man. He loved collecting the new State Quarters that I save him roll of when they came out. Also, saw him at Saddleback Irvine a few times too. I look forward to seeing him on Heaven ?? My prayers are with his family, friends, former co-workers and church family. He will be missed but, memories of him will never be forgotten. Gail Aiko Fujiwara
