Michael P. Howe

Michael P. Howe - Rochester, NY - Rochester Cremation

Rochester, NY: Our Big Brother, our Yankee Captain, crossed home plate 1/18/21 after a short illness. He was greeted by parents Bob & Dor, brother Bob, brother-in-law Randy & nephew Kennedy. He leaves his siblings with many summers of good memories: Patty Grassel, Stephen (Phyllis), Madeline, Catherine, James (Kathy), Julie (Dave Roth), David & Joanne (Tom Taylor), many relatives & friends.

Mike attended McQuaid, Saint John Fisher & then served our Country in the Viet Nam era. He was a valuable asset in the family business, rising to the top of management, known to countless customers for his helpful service. We all appreciated his care for our parents in their twilight. Michael had an active mind and an altruistic spirit. He’s the one you wanted on your trivia team.

Please share a memory and some Cracker Jacks on June 26, 2021 at Fellows Road Lodge in Perinton, between 1 and 6. Cream Ale will be involved. Be kind.

    Michael was my cousin so I knew him fairly well growing up. We also worked together at Howe and Bassett for a few years. He lived with me at my house in Fairport for about a year back in the 70’s as well. Sweet guy, rational, clear-headed, humble, kind, thoughtful, very courteous, always fulfilled his promises, told the truth, stayed in his lane, helped when he could, never troubled anyone else, His character was actually quite admirable. We will say special prayers for the progress of his sweet soul in worlds beyond our ken. Warmest love to all.

    send love to each of you — our families are double families. and no matter how far I am from you, or how many months or years pass before I see you — each of you is in my

    heart always and in my prayers. Blessings to Michael as his spirit moves on to another world. Love to every one of you. Marie Howe

    My condolences to the Howe family
    Although not close to Mike he was a great member of MCQ 1970.
    He had a quiet pragmatic humorous demeanor, always honest and true.
    He will be missed and busy keeping Randy quiet under control above.

    Thanks for the memories Mike and Randy
    John B Tierney Jr MCQ 1970
