Patrick ‘Pat’ Rowe
1932-2017
Patrick (Pat) Rowe, 85, died Saturday, November 4th, 2017,
in New Glasgow, Nova Scotia with his wife at his side.
Pat was born October 11th, 1932, in County Wexford, Ireland to Joseph
and Ellen Rowe. In 1956, Pat immigrated to Canada where he began work
mining in Northern Ontario and, eventually, on the Subways of
Toronto.
Pat worked for many years in the construction industry in the Greater
Toronto Area. He was a member of L.I.U.N.A Local 183 for many years
and retired as a construction superintendent for George Wimpey
Construction in 1992. Pat was an active member of the Garryowen Gaelic
Athletic Association. Pat and his wife retired to New Glasgow, Nova
Scotia in 1992 where he became a member of the Abercrombie Golf Club
for many years. They travelled often to Ireland, the UK,
sunny destinations in the Caribbean and spent many winters as
snowbirds in Dunedin, Florida.
Pat loved to laugh and made many of those around him laugh by his
stories from recent times and long ago. He loved his family deeply and
wanted them to be passionate about their lives. Pat was an
enthusiastic Toronto Maple Leafs, Blue Jays and Argonauts fan and
would yell at the TV, hoping they could hear him!
Pat is survived by his wife, Margaret Jean Rowe (MacDonald) married
for close to 53 years since their wedding in Toronto, in 1964. Pat is
also survived by his sons, Nicholas Patrick (Dana) and Michael Francis
(Laura) and his five grandchildren, Emily, Conor, Rachel, Sean, and
Aine of Toronto and Mississauga, Ontario and his sister, Bridget Hunt
of Santa Monica, California. Pat is also survived by his many nieces,
nephews, along with grand nieces and nephews.
He was predeceased by his sisters, Kathleen, Mary, Eileen, Stasia,
Mary Anne, Teresa and his brother Nicholas at a young
age.
Cremation has taken place. Visitation will be Monday, November 6th
from 2-4 and 7-9 pm at R.H. Porter Funeral Home, 55 Almont Ave., New
Glasgow, Nova Scotia. Funeral mass will be held Tuesday,
November 7th at 11 am, at St. John the Baptist Roman Catholic Church
