The Association of Ontario Land Surveyors is sad to notify you of the death of William James Bowman, OLS# 1278 William James (Jim) Bowman, 79, of Dinorwic, passed away on August 2nd, 2021 from heart failure. Jim was born in Kirkland Lake Ontario and attended school in New Liskeard, Ontario where he met his wife to be (Carolyn). After graduating from high school, one of his first jobs was working in north eastern Ontario for H. Sutcliffe Ltd (Survey and Engineering Co) , which inspired him to further his education at University of Toronto and led to his 50 year career as an Ontario Land Surveyor. After meeting Carolyn (aka Toots) in high school, the pair went on to eventually marry and had their daughter (Angie). They also became legal guardians of his sister’s children, Pam and Tim Pettman in 1976. Jim and his family moved to Dryden in 1974 where he and his wife operated a land surveying business for over 40 years. From early childhood Jim was a dog lover. He enjoyed being outdoors but was also an avid reader. He could be described as a do it “yourselfer” and spent his retirement enjoying and maintaining his property on Dinorwic Lake. Anyone who knew Jim knew that he was a strong (but gentle), kind and quiet soul. Jim was predeceased by his sister (Elizabeth), his father (Bill) and mother (Ella). He is survived by his wife Carolyn (aka Toots), his children (Angie, Tim and Pam), his brother (Peter), and grandchildren (Lucas, Olivia, Stephanie, Ryan, Alexandria and Ben). No services will take place, as Jim requested, but we do appreciate your love and support during this difficult time. If friends and family so desire a donation can be made in Jim’s name to the Dryden Regional Health Centre or the Canadian Heart and Stroke Foundation through Stevens Funeral Homes, P.O. Box 412, Dryden P8N 2Z1. If you have information on a fellow AOLS member who has recently passed away please let us know by sending us an email to [email protected].
