Stephen Howe Obituary
Stephen "Steve" Richard Howe, age 76 of Marion, passed away at his home on Thursday, July 11, 2024, following a 6-month battle with cancer.
Steve was born October 17, 1947, in Marion, the son of James W. and Marjorie (Heavlin) Howe. He graduated from Buckeye Valley High School with the class of 1965. He was united in marriage to Connie Lynn Blue on September 14, 1967.
When asked what the secret to a good marriage is, Steve would tell you it is to put God first.
He proudly served his country in the 101st Airborne Division of the United States Army during the Vietnam War.
Steve began his career working for Rockwell International, then moving to McDonald Douglas. He then went to work for the Boeing Company which moved the family to Georgia for 22 years. He retired from Boeing with 25 years of service.
Steve was a faithful member of the Old Corner Church and also belonged to the VFW Post 3313 of Marion. In his spare time, he enjoyed casting a line and waiting for the fish to bite.
He is survived by his wife, Connie Lynn Howe; sons: Michael David (Shannon Tuzzi) Howe and Eric Stephen Howe; grandchild Lino Paletti; and sisters: Janet (the late Dick) Benedict and Linda Jean (Jim) Lewis.
Graveside service will be Saturday, July 20, 2024, at Radnor Cemetery, 4246 Radnor Rd, Radnor, OH 43066 at 11 a.m.
The family wished to express their Thanks and Blessings to the Ohio Health Hospice team.

During my research, I came across this obituary and remembered Steve.
I'm sure he was the person I knew.
It was in the late 1960s and early 1970s in Göppingen, Germany, when I met him and Connie in the rented house of Roger and Roselle Chapman.
Both men were working at the Cooke Barracks in Göppingen at the time.
I especially remember the evenings when I sang songs by P, P&M and Bob Dylan to the guitar.
When Steve returned to the States, he sent me a Peter, Paul and Mary songbook.
I myself was born in 1951 and still live in Göppingen.
If my memory hasn't deceived me and the deceased was really the Steve Howe I knew, it would be a pleasure for me to hear this from his family.
Kind regards
