Steve Popp,

Steve retired from the U.S. Marine Corps after 20 years of service and involvement in both the Korean and Vietnam Wars. An independent, outgoing and caring man, his personality was perfectly suited to his later career as a salesman. Steve was a fan of NASCAR, the Cincinnati Reds and Bengals and was a member of the Marine Corps League. He enjoyed traveling in his motor home and shopping.

He is survived by a son, Steve (Kathy) Popp, III; daughter, Michelle (Patrick) Hassert; seven grandchildren, Zach, Allie, Miles, Stephanie, Jennifer, Chris and Joe; two sisters, Dolly (Jerry) Mauppin and Barbara (Ted) Woolcock; two brothers, Jim (Connie) Popp and Don (Priscilla) Popp; a special companion, Phyllis Lange; and his four legged buddy Gunny. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by a sister, Kathryn Popp.

Friends and family may visit from 5-7 p.m. Wednesday, September 26, 2012 at the Diamond Street Home of Wappner Funeral Directors, 98 S. Diamond Street. A graveside service will be held Thursday, September 27, 2012 at 9:30 a.m. in Ohio Western Reserve National Cemetery, Rittman, Ohio.
