Obituary of Howard Greenhouse

Latham, New York Howard (Howie) Greenhouse of Latham, NY passed away peacefully surrounded by loving family at the age of 68 on Friday September 2, 2016. Born in Albany, NY on January 31, 1948 to Meta and Saul Greenhouse, he was a graduate of Shaker High School and worked as a sales executive for the family business, A. Greenhouse. Howie was an avid history buff, enjoyed reading many books and watching old movies. He had a love for cars and spent many weekends watching NASCAR races. A true family man, he spent most of his time with his brother and family, children and grandsons. Howie appreciated the simple things in life. He enjoyed family vacations in Aruba, summers in Lake George, spending time in the sun, eating good food and drinking a cold beer. Small in stature, but he had a big heart-he was always willing to lend a hand. Throughout his battle with Parkinson’s, he never once complained. His warm smile and gentle manner will be greatly missed by his family and friends. Howie is survived by his daughter and son in law, Heather and Jeff Campbell of Charlton, NY. He was the beloved “Pompa” to their twin boys, Trevor and Travis, as well as his son Jared Greenhouse of Fort Worth, TX. He is also survived by his brother and sister in law Gary and Genie Greenhouse of Menands, NY who have been devoted to giving Howie unconditional love and guidance throughout his life. Howie also leaves behind his nieces and nephews David Greenhouse, Kristin and Derek Brown, Alison and Michael Brehm and Scott Greenhouse who have been a significant part of his life and by his side in times of need. A very special thank you to Maia, for her exceptional care of Howie and Dr’s Costello and Hanspal. Family will be welcoming friends at the Levine Memorial Chapel, 649 Washington Avenue Albany, NY on Wednesday, September 7, 2016 from 10am to 11am. A memorial service will follow at 11am.
