In Celebration of
Norman James Cowan
July 6, 1937 –
February 12, 2023
Norman James Cowan, age 85, passed away on February 12, 2023 in Burlington, Ontario, where he had lived for over 40 years. Known by friends and family as Jim, he was born in Brockville, Ontario in 1937, the youngest child of Norman and Blanche (Holtby) Cowan. Like his father and many in his family, during his youth Jim worked at Cowan’s Dairy in Brockville. He went on to complete a degree in Electrical Engineering at Queen’s University in 1960. It was on University Avenue in Kingston where he met his wife, Margaret. After their marriage in North Bay, Ontario, he graduated with an MBA from Queen’s University in 1964.
Jim worked across Ontario during his long and successful career in engineering and management. He was honoured for his work and leadership in the Canadian and American Production & Inventory Control Society (CAPIC/APICS). He started his own consulting business, NJC Logistics, which took him further afield, and spent several years working in Calgary, Ottawa and Los Angeles.
As an avid outdoorsman, Jim loved to spend time in the woods and lakes of Ontario, camping, hunting, fishing, and boating. He was at his happiest when he was boating on beautiful Georgian Bay in the summertime with his family and his dog. He was also an amateur pilot, and an accomplished life-long photographer. After retirement he devoted much time to photography and to genealogy, and became the de facto archivist for his extended family.
A kind-hearted, patient, generous man, Jim will be greatly missed by his wife of over 60 years, Margaret, his daughters Janet and Sandra (Tom), and his dear granddaughters, Isabel and Anna, as well as numerous nieces, nephews and cousins, and his two sisters-in-law, all of whom he loved dearly. He is predeceased by his sisters Helen Ann and Verla, and his brother Donald John. In spite of the difficulties and pain that came with becoming an “old guy”, Jim maintained his kindness and sense of humour until the end.
