It is with deep sadness the family of Dr. Derek John Bowerman announce his passing at the Northumberland Hills Hospital, Sunday, June 19, 2022, at the age of 93. Pre-deceased by his wife, Julie Bowerman (nee: Smith). He will be forever cherished by his children, Robin (Douglas), Giles (Nicola) and Roderick (Tisha). Loved grandfather to Lauren (Harley), Alice (Charlie), Lottie, Charlie, Harry and Owen. Proud great-grandfather to Freddie and Jack. Brother to his Sister Janet Fennell. Derek will be deeply missed by his extended family and his many friends. Derek practiced for over 40 years as an Ophthalmologist in Oshawa. For many of those years he shared a private practice with Dr. Barbara Craig. He was also a long time member of the Oshawa Golf and Curling Club. The family would like to extend their most sincere gratitude and thanks to Anita, N.P., as well as all the nursing, physiotherapy and occupational therapy staff that cared for Derek in both the Restorative and Palliative units at Northumberland Hills Hospital. Your kind, gentle and compassionate care did not go unnoticed. As per Derek’s wishes, there will be no services at this time. He will be laid to rest with his wife at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Northumberland Hills Hospital Foundation.
Our most sincere sympathies to the family and friends of Derek John
