JOHN (BOB) ROBERT FOWLER
July 7, 1949 March 1, 2023
On Wednesday morning March 1, 2023, John, or as we always knew him "Bob", passed away suddenly.
Bob was born July 7, 1949, in Winnipeg, MB to John and Mae Fowler. He was the second oldest of five children. Bob, was single and lived in Winnipeg his whole life.
Sadly, Bob was stricken with health issues in his early adulthood, and lived a challenged life thereafter. The last years of Bob's life were living comfortably at the Beacon Hill Lodge Long Term Care Home in Winnipeg. He was very happy and content there, and very much appreciated the support he received from the staff that looked after him. On the lighter side, while the world struggled with COVID in 2020 and its physical distancing restrictions, it opened up a new opportunity for Bob, as "Zoom" calls with family became available at Beacon Hill. The smile on his face when one of those calls started up will always be a lasting memory.
Bob is survived by his brother Brian (Lucia) Fowler, his sister's surviving husband, William (Bill) McGuire along with six nieces and nephews and their children.
A graveside service will be held at Chapel Lawn Cemetery in Winnipeg on March 23, 2023 at noon.
