RICHARD JOHN BOWCOTT Suddenly on February 27, 2015, at the age of 74, John passed away. John was predeceased by his father "Dick", mother "Kay" and son-in-law Rick Neufeld. He leaves to mourn his wife of 53 years, Irene, daughter April (Ken), son Chris (Alanna), grandchildren Mike, Tia, Austin, and Armaan, great granddaughter Edana, sisters Jean Stephenson (Ian), Maryanne Jones (Rick), sisters-in-law Evelyn Karalash (Ed), Shirley Wiens and numerous nieces and nephews as well as dear friends. Born in Winnipeg, John lived in Brooklands until he was 17 and his family moved to East Kildonan. In 1961, he married Irene and they lived in Winnipeg until 1984, when they moved out to Ile des Chenes. John drove bus for Winnipeg Transit for 32 years until he retired in 1997 and spent his time enjoying his yard, garden and casino trips that he and Irene took often. John happily helped April and Chris when asked whether it be home renos, moving or just checking on strange noises heard in the middle of the night. A special thanks to the doctors and nurses at the St. Pierre Hospital and the Stars Helicopter for their care and compassion towards the family.

When our children were young we had many morning coffees at John and Irene home in St Vital. Although a lot of time passed since we saw each other I sure am glad Shelley and I stopped in for a visit a while ago. John and I got along well together. It is too bad sad moments bring back the good times, Toniata New years parties and a lot of coffees. All our best to the families -Ed and Lorraine. - Posted by: Ed & Lorraine Bates (Outlaw & mostly friend) on: Mar 03, 2015
