It is with great sadness we announce the peaceful passing of Ralph Dougald Bowman on 13 August, 2016 at Langley Memorial Hospital in his 90th year.

Lovingly remembered by his wife of sixty nine years, Wanda and his sons Ted (Alison), and Gary (Rosi); grandchildren Toby and Richard; Great Grandchildren Chase and Landon; he is survived by his brother Don and numerous extended family members.
Ralph served with the Royal Canadian Air Force, became a successful businessman, and contributed his time and expertise with civic, social and sports organizations, where he met the many friends who remember him as a man who loved to help; but above all he cherished his family, and enjoyed the time he spent with those he loved.

You are invited to leave a personal message of condolence for the family.
We are sad to learn of the passing of Ralph. Ralph and I (Dave) worked together at CanadianOxy in North Vancouver, where he was a great mentor and co-worker. There are many memories, but one that we think of often is a PMAC conference in St John's Newfoundland Ralph & I attended and were accompanied by our wives, Wendy and of course Wanda. Please accept our deepest condolences. Wendy and Dave Moore, Squamish
