It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Ernest "Ernie" Edward Bowser, age 79, of Sackville. Ernie passed away peacefully at the Sackville Memorial Hospital on Tuesday, December 27, 2016, with his loving family by his side.
Born in Sackville, he was a son of the late Harold and Doris (Wall) Bowser.
Ernie was an active fireman for 25 years for the Town of Sackville, and always looked forward to his trips to the fire hall. He was a member of the Sussex # 4 F & AM Masonic Lodge. Ernie was a family man, he loved his wife, his children, and especially time with his grandchildren. Ernie will be missed by all his friends at "Coffee Club" in the mornings at McDonald's. He was a busy self employed man, who worked in many areas, usually driving, whether it be children to school, or transporting goods, or construction.
He will be dearly missed by his dedicated wife of 46 years, Eva; his children Craig (Vicki) and Susan Bowser (Toby Knockwood), all of Sackville; grandchildren Cody (Louise), Conner, Sarah, and Justin; great grandson Sebastian; sister Shirley Bowser, Sackville; several nieces, nephews, cousins and in-laws.
