Bill Howe

Bill Howe,
Loving son, great brother, adored uncle, eternal friend.

Bill was thoughtful, creative and a gifted storyteller. he was constantly looking for new ways to express himself. Through artwork, funny stories, sharing music and gift giving he made others smile, laugh, and feel loved.

Bill, as the eldest sibling of five, put family above all else in his life. He made sure the family spent enough time together, encouraged family vacations, and frequently invited his family over to enjoy one of his signature dishes. He was an instigator motivated by bringing the family closer together.

Bill was talented at forming lasting relationships. He was great. The most loyal of friends he lived large, loved larger and built bonds stronger than death. Anyone blessed enough to know Bill became part of his inner fraternity. Anyone who knew Bill was quick to recognize his boundless generosity. If everyone gave as much as Bill we'd all be poor and we'd all be rich. He generously gave everything he had and more.

Bill saw life in both micro and macro focus with little in between. He was as powerful and fierce as a lion, and as gentle and loving as a lamb. He was both perfect and flawed and we loved him for it. Bill did, and come what may, taught himself and us with his actions. He was a proud man learning humility through life's choices and experiences.

We love Bill and we will miss him dearly.

Bill is survived by his parents Bill and Peg Howe, brothers Greg Howe and wife Amy, Tim Howe and wife Cindy, David Howe and wife Melanie, sister Elizabeth Howe, nieces and nephews Alyssa, Jackson and Lincoln Howe.
