He was a Vietnam veteran that served his country for 28 years.  He retired from IPBM in Nashua, NH in 1999 as an Engineering Document Specialist.  In 2006 he and his wife moved to Bassett.
 He is survived by his wife of 51 ½ years, Brenda Howe of the home; three sons, Jeffrey Howe of Bassett, VA, Christopher Howe and Jennifer of Ocala, FL and Lee Howe of Bassett.

Myers, FL, Barbara Perron and Almore of the Villages, FL and Diane Pope and Ted of Ocala, FL.
 Tom’s wishes were to be cremated so there will be no calling hours or local service.  His remains will be transported to the New Hampshire Veterans Cemetery in Boscawen, NH where a military service will be held, May 14, 2021. 
In lieu of flowers, the family suggests that memorial contributions be made in his name to the Mountain Valley Hospice, 730 East Church Street, Martinsville, VA  24112.
