In Memoriam

  

We are all mortal, born to die, though we know not the day and hour until it comes... so strive to live as you wish to be remembered.

Easier said than done, so if you like to write, another option is to create your own In Memoriam page, as I have done here (subject to revision until that final, unknowable day).

Stephen Rowe age (?) died on (date?). Born in Washington DC’s Walter Reed Army Hospital to Charles and Gloria Rowe, he grew up in Garrett, Indiana and spent his last years near Fremont with Kathy Koons Rowe, his surviving wife since 1973. Additional survivors include siblings Lael Ice, Lynn Reed, and Judy Rowe, a son Aaron Rowe, and Aaron and Nikki Rowe’s six children.

Stephen won a National Merit Scholarship Commendation as a high school student in 1969, earned a PhD in mathematics from Indiana University in 1993, and worked as a statistician in Chicago before retiring to Steuben County.

Following retirement he turned to writing, describing himself as an existential Buddhist with interests in music, art, philosophy, nature, simplicity, and the impact of cyber-absorption on consciousness and spirit. These interests, reflected in his various "Cyber Tunnels," characteristically juxtapose graphics with synergistic and ironic text, and are often highly creative and sometimes quite eccentric, as was Stephen. The portal to much of this writing is StephenRowe.blogspot.com.

Beside the above, Stephen had a deep interest in and love for his home town of Garrett and its people. Preferred memorials are to the Garrett Public Library.
