A truly compassionate being who helped so many people on their life journey! I feel very blessed to have known him and will never forget the amazing Dr Rivette! Denise


As a long time member of the Creative Leisure Movement I offer my sincere thanks to Howard Rivett and offer condolences to his family.

Hello People, I googled Howard Rivett and come apon your eulogy. I have a website on pain management self help, and wish to check if your Howard Rivett was the man I learned from. Was he a musculoskeletal specialist? Thank you for your help. Jim Rose

I fully agree; being his neice! He held all the family together! He always made sure we all stayed in contact in this busy world of ours. We are all so proud of our Rivett elders & just hope we, as their decendants, can put in at least a small dent of what our forefathers gave to society I really miss him! He brough so much to this world & he will never be forgotten!!! ALL MY LOVE HOWARD xoxo

I have lost my best friend of 46 years, and feel a great loss -as do Howard's lovely family. I have known Howard since he curied me of a damaged back when I couldnt walk when only 26 and the mother of 4. Howard even inspired me to learn to fly in 1962 and enjoy an amazing aviation career, which he continued to encourage me, every step of the way. Howard and Michelle stayed on my boat in Sausalito while I typeset his book, and having lost my only son Grant, I had greater empathy with Howard when he lost the beautiful Michelle. My love and blessings to the family, who I have heard about for so many years, since Stephen was about 7.
