Fairman C. Cowan

And a year after my earlier 2023 message, Fairman Cowan's presence is brought back into my life - how heartwarming. Peace be the journey, fine soul and to your many descendants who have grown since you moved on in 2008!

Oh my, how haunting: the Cowans were extended family to me. My mother, Frances Cook Condon, "Mollie" from Wellesley Hills, MA and my father, Col. Reynolds Condon brought the Cowans into their kids' lives: my younger brother, Ricky Condon and me Emilie "Millie" Condon. I am stunned and moved to be writing these words about Mr. Cowan in my antiquity here in 2023! What a delight and honor. Millie

Len -- my deepest condolences to you and your family. Your dad sounds like he was a remarkable & unique man. The legacy of a life well lived is evident in who you are as his son. May you know the comfort of the Lord.

Dear Cowans,
I only wish I could have come and shared in the celebration. How lucky we were to grow up next to you on Berwick St. The world has lost a wonderful man but I know he rests in peace.

Len,
Your father was truly a remarkable man. I can only wish I had known him as I can imagine we might have had some stimulating and informative conversations. You and your entire family were greatly blessed to have had him as husband, father, and grandfather. I pray for the comfort of our Lord Jesus Christ to be the experience of each of you.

Polly, Fred, Doug, and Len,
Fair's obituary says it all-what a wonderful snapshot of a life well and generously lived. Fair (and RALyell) certainly gave Wachusett's ski patrol a thrill the last few yrs. and power to them.
That old guy with the bow tie was, without question "for us"...we'll miss him.

Fairman was my customer here at Bank of America at Tatnuck Square. Extremely intelligent, well spoken and pleasant. What a great guy who had led one extraordinary life. He will be missed by all who had the great honor of knowing him.

My life is better for having known Fair, and for being able to call him friend. I will miss him dearly.

What good luck that fate led us to meet the Cowans, rent their apartment, and become like family. It has been a cherished relationship for 24 years, with Polly and Fair always available if and when needed. Fair's death represents a big loss in our lives, as it does in the entire Worcester community. We are proud to have been able to participate in his and Polly's lives, and will miss him sorely.
