Kenneth James Bowie
1958-2018
Bowie, Kenneth James, age 60, of South
Side Harbour, Antigonish County, formerly of New France passed away at
St. Martha’s Regional Hospital on June 22,
2018.
Born in Antigonish, he was the son of
the late Wilfred and Margaret (MacPherson) Bowie.
Kenneth graduated from CRVS in 1977 as
a welder. He worked with the Ironworkers and Pipefitters for many
years. For the last ten years of his career he worked as
successful construction manager in Alberta with Moreau
Industries. One of his favourite sayings on the job was, “Work
a little harder; a littler faster”. He helped out and
encouraged many young people by hiring them for jobs in
Alberta. Kenny was never idle. He enjoyed sports, fishing, hunting and
working around the yard. He travelled the country and had a great love
for Harley Davidson’s. He especially enjoyed lobster
parties, family gatherings and his grandchildren. Kenny was always
available to lend a listening ear and give sound advice. He
was a role model to many and will be greatly missed.
He is survived by daughters, Krystal,
Edmonton; Kendra, Antigonish; son, Stephen, Alberta; sisters: Dorothy
(Basil) Ludlow, Antigonish; Linda (John) Gabriel, Fitchburg Mass.;
Carol Ann, Charlottetown; brothers: Harold, Antigonish; John (Debbie),

Dumore and Richard, Bayfield.
