Peter Rowlands

It is with heartfelt sadness that we announce the passing of Peter M. Rowlands of Jean de Baie, NL (formerly of Stephenville, NL) on Sunday, June 02, 2019. Surrounded by his loving family and care-givers, Peter passed peacefully, at home, at the age of 93 years.
Peter is survived by his wife of 65 years, Mary Dalton of Johns Pond, St. Mary’s Bay; his siblings: Ida (Ontario), Madonna (St. John’s) and Raymond (Jean de Baie); his nine children: Angela (Clarence Casey - CBS, NL), Donna (David Weber - London, ON), Peter (Brenda - Lansdowne, ON), David (Cynthia - Gander, NL), Joe (Julie - Dartmouth, NS), John (Colette - Lawrencetown, NS), Ray (Brenda - Mount Pearl, NL), Philip (Laura - Embrun, ON), Cathy (Tony White - Shediac, NB). He also leaves behind a loving legacy of twenty-three grandchildren and twenty great-grandchildren.
Born in Jean de Baie, May 6, 1926, he moved to Stephenville during the construction of the Ernest Harmon Airforce Base, where he met and married Mary. He was employed in various capacities throughout his life, ending his working career in 1984 as first engineer of MV Fred J. Agnich (operated by GSI/Texas Instruments). People were high priority to Peter. He was a community-oriented person, and generously volunteered with various service groups – including a lifetime membership with the Lions Club. He loved to laugh, sing and tell stories, and was considered a natural entertainer by all. He liked nothing better than a house full of family and friends. He will be dearly missed.
Peter was predeceased by his parents, John Tom and Mary (Murphy) Rowlands; brothers: Phonse, John-Joe, Len, Jack, Rod, and Joe; sisters: Theresa, Lucy, Mary and Margaret; son James and granddaughter Kayla.
