Donald Bowman Obituary

It is with great sorrow that I announce the passing of Donald Bowman on November 10, 2021 in the Woolcott Wing of the Welland County General Hospital in his 88th year. Don was born in Winnipeg Manitoba November 26 1933, son of Foster and Margaret (Upham)Bowman. He is survived by his loving daughter Cheryl. He was the beloved husband of Elaine (Carruthers) Bowman (died August 12 2020)for 62 years. Survived by brother Bruce (Joy) and half brothers Stuart (Martha) and Geoff Bowman, nieces, nephews and cousins. Predeceased by brother Philip and sister Diane, and half brothers Stephen and Bryce.

Don was a Radio Operator with the RCAF for 24 years and a Corrections Officer with the Niagara Detention Centre for 18 years, former Master of St. George's Lodge, #15 AF & AM and member of Canadian Association of Veterans in United Nations Peacekeeping.

I want to thank the nurses, PSW's and support staff at Welland Hospital who took care of him over the last year.

Cremation has taken place and arrangements entrusted to Passfield Mortuary Services. As per Dad's wishes there will be no visitation. A private service will be held at Victoria Lawn Cemetery in June 2022. In lieu of flowers donations can be made to Diabetes Canada, Heart and Stroke, or the CNIB.

I was sorry to hear of the passing of ‘Buzz’. I enjoyed working with Buzz at the Niagara Detention Centre. He was a great co-worker and I always remember the pride he took in his military past and affiliations. My deepest condolences to Buzz’s family at this time of their loss.

Cheryl,
For many years “Buzz” was my partner at NDC. I will always remember the lessons about horse racing as well as the advice and knowledge he imparted to me as a young correctional officer.
He was a good man.
My thoughts are with you
