Steven Conklin Obituary
Steve was a crafty and sure-footed nemesis of the native brookies who are no doubt celebrating the news from pool to pool along the East Branch of the Pemi, Swift, and Hancock rivers. He sported a well manured thumb. Steve was a passionate plumbing hobbyist, courageous hiker, and bane of procyon lotor and USA Springs. Metals were his profession to which he applied himself at PNSY as a nuclear engineer for more than twenty years. A man of letters, his abstruse emails will be deeply missed at the holidays, as will his swift and irreverent wit.
His integrity, intelligence, friendship, and lust for life will forever inspire us.
Calling hours will be from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. on Saturday, January 24th at Purdy Memorial Chapel 2 Concord Road, Lee N.H.
Following the calling hours, please join the family for a Celebration of Life from 2 to 5 p.m. on Saturday January 24th at The Galley Hatch in Hampton, N.H.
In lieu of flowers, please donate in Steve's name to The Barrington Food Pantry, PO Box 660, Barrington, N.H. 03825.

Ellen, Peter, and family-we were stunned to learn of Steve's passing. Our hearts and prayers go out to all of you. We appreciate all that Steve did over the years to make Barrington a better place to live. His science and technical knowledge made a significant contribution to stopping USA Springs, Inc. He gave his time generously and we will miss him. We send you our deepest sympathy.

My heart has shattered upon hearing the news of Steve's passing and the loss of this wonderful man that will leave a tremendous void in my life and that of so many others. As a fellow compatriot who fought USA Springs alongside Steve and Ellen, no better Champions could be found in protecting water rights and the interests of the Town of Barrington than them. Steve loved life to the fullest each and every day. Alongside Ellen, he could and did conquer life. I am forever grateful for Steve's guidance and support over so many years. His best work, however, was as that of husband, father and grandfather. He delighted in every antic, laugh and moment with his grandchildren all of who exhibited brillance equal only to that of their grandfather's. His wit was legendary and I can hear Steve now correcting everyone about how the story really went. I will miss him deeply. Ellen, I send all my love and hope that each memory with Steve sustains you in the days ahead.

To All of Steve's Family:
My sincere condolences on your loss of Steve. I had the pleasure of working with Steve as his secretary at PNS back in the early 90's. He always had a great sense of humor and was a joy to work with and to know. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this time.
