Edward Bowes
1940-2019
It is with heavy hearts and sadness that
the family of Edward Bowes announce his
passing on Wednesday, February 20, 2019 at the Moncton
Hospital.
Born on August 24, 1940, Edward was the son of the late
Russell and Roberta (Chapman) Bowes of Dorchester, NB.
As a young man, Edward joined the US
Army and served in Vietnam. Upon returning home, he
attended the New Brunswick Institute of Technology and the University
of New Brunswick, spending all of his teaching career at Saint John
Vocational School. After he
and Barbara moved to Sackville, Edward continued his passion for local
history as a member of the Westmorland Historical Society. He was always an avid
reader. Edward
also enjoyed time spent at his cottage on Dorchester Cape. Other passions included NASCAR
and country music, especially the music of his «hero»,
Willie Nelson.

will be greatly missed by his wife of 37 years, Barbara (Calvert),
Sackville; daughter, Andrea Bowes (Jonas Watson), Fredericton, and son

(Becky), Doaktown, NB, and three sisters, Laurie, Vancouver, BC, Carol
Green (Phil), Maple Ridge, BC, and Margie LeGood (Paul), Moncton, as
well as many nieces and nephews.
