Myeloma.

He was born July 6, 1940 in Baltimore, MD. He received a BA in American
History from Columbia University in 1962 and an MD from New York University
School of Medicine in 1966.
Howard's passion for science and technology was always present and after
completing his internship, residency, and a fellowship in Immunology at the Beth
Israel Hospital in Boston, he was awarded a Fulbright Fellowship. This
distinguishing accolade enhanced his education with training in England for
Rheumatology and The Weizmann Institute in Rehovot, Israel for Immunology.
Upon returning to the US in 1974, he began a multifaceted career, which included
performing bench research at National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, MD;
practicing medicine as an Internist and Rheumatologist in San Jose, CA; working
in Philadelphia first as a Medical Director of US Healthcare and then finally
consulting at Milliman USA.

Howard would say his most challenging and rewarding career was as Chief
Medical Officer of LympheDIVAS (Lymphedivas.com). The inspirational
company was founded by Howard's daughter, Rachel Levin Troxell who died from
breast cancer in 2008.
As a lover of classical music he spent Sunday afternoons on the lawn of
Tanglewood with loved ones by his side. Howard was a physican, a researcher, a
sculptor, a teacher, and a violinist however his most beloved title was Dad and
Zayde. He is survived by his wife Judy, son Josh, daughter-in-law Pam, and 2
grandchildren, Sawyer and Raquel.
