Robert Ernest MacDowell

I knew Bob mainly as a fellow dog man in the wild woodlands of the town of Peru where we would sometimes cross paths, he running his beagles on snowshoe rabbits, me skiing or hiking with my dog. Bob's reverence for his dogs (I remember Opie, but not the name of the other) and the woods was beautiful to behold. Anyone could see that he loved giving his dogs a life of outdoor adventure. Cheers to you, Mr. MacDowell, as your dogs welcome you on the other side of Rainbow Bridge.

My deepest sympathy going out to the entire MacDowell family on hearing about your loss of one of the greatest guys I ever knew. I have such fond memories of my time with Bob and spending time at his house on McCarther street riding on the back of his Tanka 50cc motorcycle in Jr high school through the fields out behind the house. Going rabbit hunting in Windsor Mass for white tail rabbits with snowshoes. Watching him play the Cordarvox (accordion) for the polka dances that his parents...

Bob was my hero, mentor and friend who I will solely miss!!!

To Bob-mentor, friend, and a man of great skill, With a heart full of kindness and a spirit to thrill. He shaped young minds, taught them to build, To love the wild, to be strong-willed. A craftsman, a hunter, a teacher so wise, With laughter and wisdom, he opened our eyes. A master with bow, with cards, and with wit, Bob made life better just by being in it. He´d give you his shirt and not ask it returned, A lesson in giving that we all have learned. So here´s to Bob, though...

Mr MacDowell was one of my favorite teachers in Nessacus, always put a smile on my face going to his class to learn. May he rest and peace.

His class lead me to a future in STEM ! Impacted many lives and will be missed dearly.

To the MacDowell Family, I was saddened to read of Bob´s passing. He was a soft spoken man and we had many conversations about hunting, fishing and life. May you Rest-in-Peace my friend, see you on the flip side.
