William Steiner Obituary

Steiner

William E. Steiner II

Passed away peacefully on August 3, 2023 after a long battle with heart and kidney failure. Born in Pittsburgh, PA on July 20, 1942 to the late Helen and Charles F. Steiner Jr., Bill grew up in Warren, OH, graduating from Warren G. Harding High School. He served in the US Navy as an Electronic Technician (ETN) aboard the destroyer USS Douglas H. Fox visiting ports of call throughout the Caribbean, Mediterranean, Red and Black Seas.



Following his military service, he received a Bachelor of Architecture degree from Kent State University. He was a member of Delta Upsilon fraternity. He practiced architecture in Warren for several years before moving his young family to Reston, VA, joining the new town development team as Resident Architect with Gulf Reston, Inc. and its successor Mobil Land Development Corp. He was chairman of the Reston Association Architectural Board of Review for twenty years followed by twenty years as member and Administrator to the Reston Town Center Design Review Board.



Upon retirement from Mobil Corp. in 1997, Bill spent ten years with United Airlines as a lobby coordinator at Washington Dulles International Airport earning him and his family free flights for life.



Bill leaves behind: his wife and love of his life Linda H. Miller of Ocean View, DE; two daughters with his first wife Kathy (now deceased) Amanda M. Steiner, Esq. of Port Angeles, WA, and Dr. Alison M. Steiner of Kailua Kona, HI; stepdaughter Tamara Miller (son Sean, daughter Ryan) of Annapolis, MD; stepson Timothy Miller of Alexandria, VA; sister Shirley Finke (Carl) of Erie, PA; brothers Charles F. Steiner III of Warren, OH (deceased), and James R. Steiner of Huntington Beach, CA; many cousins and beloved in-laws.



Bill and Linda thoroughly enjoyed their retirement years in Coastal Delaware. He spent much of his time doing absolutely nothing, often remarking, "Hey, I finally found something I'm good at!"



In lieu of a service, it was Bill's desire that you take a loved one to dinner, raise a glass to an old friend and send a photo to [email protected].
