Obituary for
Robert Goddard Howe
Bob Howe of Neudorf passed away Friday, October 14, 2016 at the age of 80 years.
Robert Goddard Howe was born and raised in Winnipeg, the eldest child of Fred and Violet Howe, on June 3, 1936. After joining the Navy in 1952, he returned to Winnipeg in 1956, where he met Lillian, and ten months later they were married on October 11, 1957. Together Bob and Lil raised three children.
On September 15, 1964, Bob started a new life within the fellowship of A.A., celebrating his 52nd A.A. birthday recently. Dedication and commitment to the A.A. program was proven by his being the guest speaker in both Yellowknife, NWT and Kenora, ON in the weeks prior to his final illness, a commitment he would not have forsaken.
Bob was predeceased by his wife of 50 years, Lillian; his parents, Fred and Violet Howe; in-laws John and Dorothy Garvie; brother-in-law Ron Baird; and sister-in-law Marlene Kullman. Bob leaves to celebrate his life: son Scott Howe and wife Sharon of Edenwold, SK; daughter Kelly Anderson and partner, Gerald Mushie of Souris, MB; and son Dustin Howe and wife Jessica of Wetaskiwin, AB; his grandsons, Derek, Cale, Hazen and Gabriel Howe and Chad Anderson; his granddaughters, Stevie and Lily Howe and Brea Anderson; his sister, Barbara Baird of Burlington, ON and brother Fred and wife Kathryn of Winnipeg; brother-in-law Edward Garvie and wife Bernice of Winnipeg; sisters-in-law, Colleen Ervick and husband Glen and Karen Glaicar of Winnipeg; his great-grandchildren, numerous nieces and nephews, along with friends and his extensive A.A. and Al-Anon family.
The family wishes to thank Dr. Ker, Dr. Aslam and the exceptional palliative care staff at 3B Pasqua Hospital and Grace Hospice especially. In lieu of flowers, donations to Regina Wascana Grace Hospice are respectfully requested.
