\u201cMy beloved has passed beyond the veil. She drew her final breath at 5:42 yesterday afternoon. Her handmaidens, students and priestesses prepared her body and dressed her in her beautiful Sea Priestess robes. She is now lying in grace in the Temple for a few days until we take her body to its final resting place in the Earth. It\u2019s been an incredible week\u2013grief and joy intermixing like a lava lamp. So many beautiful loving people gathered around, taking care of everything. That\u2019s all I can really say right now\u2026I can barely see to type.\u201d \u2013 Oberon Zell \u2013 (Facebook Page posting, May 14, 2014)<\/p>\n

Howard Bert Schwartz (May 6, 1943- Feb. 26, 2014)<\/h2>\n
\"\"

\u00a0provided by Darien de Lu<\/p><\/div>\n

Howard passed away in his long-time Oakland apartment while a friend read him mystic poetry, ending a long confrontation with liver cancer, heart disease, and chronic digestive problems. He was a long-time member of the folk club who frequently attended the Friday night sessions at Faith\u2019s. He was well known for his ability to play accompaniment in the singing room, regardless of song or key. He also attended various other folk gathering in the Bay Area, and he played for numerous Sufi dance events.
Most of the local folkies are unaware of Howard\u2019s many other accomplishments. Howard was a professor of sociology for many years, beginning with a position at Harvard and moving on to other positions that seemed right to him. He was uninterested in prestige or a high salary, preferring work that spoke to his sense of authenticity. He described his specialty area, ethnomethodology, as the study of everyday and common-sense thinking. Recently a journal in England republished Howard\u2019s scholarly papers because they liked his work and felt it reflected the early foundation of that branch of sociology. With a friend Howard co-authored a sociology text book, Qualitative Sociology<\/em>, a text notable for the sprinklings of humor Howard insisted upon. It continues in use and is translated into multiple languages.<\/p>\n

Subsequently he successfully transitioned into computer programming jobs. Long after he retired from that work, he continued to help friends with his techy skills.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As an accomplished and self-taught classical guitarist, Howard played for Sufi dances as well as folk music performances and community gatherings.
Howard had many other sides to himself. His playful side delighted in entertaining people with his stock of magic tricks. With children he could interact at their level, without pretense and with mutual enjoyment. In earlier years he was an avid folk dancer and skilled tap dancer \u2014 the latter dating back to his days as a child actor. (He had significant parts in an episode of the TV series, Dragnet<\/em>, and in the film, Marjorie Morningstar<\/em>.) For many years he was active in the community of followers of the spiritual leader, Meher Baba, and he traveled to India several times to go to the Meher Baba center.
Encouragement of loving attitudes and community feeling motivated Howard throughout his life. Many of his friends were glad to share these qualities at a \u201cLiving Farewell\u201d recognition event for Howard in April 2013. A memorial gathering took place in May 2014.<\/p>\n
