His greatest passion was his
family. Anita was the love of
his life; every Valentine’s Day
he gave her a poem that he
typed on a red ribbon. As a
couple, they shared many happy
times in Michigan and Florida,
boating, dining with friends
and spending time alone just
chatting with each other in the
backyard. According to his sons,
he exemplified the way to be a
good husband, father, grand-
father and great-grandfather.
He had a special bond with his
sister, Margot, and her husband,
Warren.
“He led by example; he was
just a really good guy,” said his
son Glenn.

LEGACY OF HOLOCAUST
While Howard was able to make
peace with his wartime experi-
ences, he remained concerned
that the kind of persecution the
Nazis inflicted upon the Jews
could recur.
“He taught us to always be a
little bit on guard,” said Glenn,
“and to pay attention.”
Howard is survived by his
wife, Anita Triest; sons and
daughters-in-law, Brent and
Nancy Triest of Huntington
Woods, Glenn and Halina
Triest of Oak Park; sister and
brother-in-law, Margot and
Warren Coville of Sarasota, Fla.;
grandchildren, Jonathon and
Jessica Triest, Kate Triest, Tessa
Triest, Lena Triest; great-grand-
children, Shayna Liora Triest,
Aryeh Yehudah Triest, Elina
Chava Triest; and several loving
nieces and nephews.
Interment was at Machpelah
Cemetery in Ferndale.
