It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Paul Bowie at the age of 78, on April 8th 2023. Paul was born in Chatham NB and was the son of the late Holden and Annie (Flynn) Bowie. He was the eldest of seven children and grew up in Oak Point NB.
He will be sadly missed by his beloved wife of 55 years Lourdes, his daughters Paula Grossman (Mark) and Melanie Bowie (Jeremy). He was also the proud grandfather of JP, Hanna, Logan and Blake. He is also survived by his sister Margaret Jardine (Alan) of Red Bank NB, brothers Bernard (Shauna) of Hammonds Plains NS and Richard (Marion) of Douglastown NB and many brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law, nieces, and nephews.
Paul worked for NBTel for over 35 years, and he enjoyed more than twenty retirement years doing what he loved, spending time with his family. For many years he could be spotted daily walking along Gunningsville Blvd with Lourdes no matter the weather. Paul was a dedicated husband, father and Papa, who loved life and loved to laugh.
Besides his parents Paul was predeceased by his brother David Bowie, sisters Mary (Bowie) Gordon and Lucy (Bowie) Laviolette.
The family would like to thank the staff of 4200 for their amazing care and the staff of 3600 for their compassion during his final days. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Friends of the Moncton Hospital Oncology Unit or any charity of their choice.
