BELMONT - Jeffrey S. Bowser, 63, passed at home with family on Tues Aug 22, 2017 after a courageous battle with pancreatic cancer.
Jeff was born in Brockton, Massachusetts on August 27, 1953. He grew up in Rockland, Massachusetts and was raised by his loving parents, Esther and Frederick Bowser who pre-deceased him. He graduated from Rockland High School and went on to study engineering at Bridgewater Community College. He took his first position at Sigma Instruments in Braintree, Massachusetts, followed by Boston Gear Works in Quincy.
Jeff and his lovely wife Susan moved to Belmont, NH in 1986 “for a better life for their children” Jennifer and Jason. His first place of work in New Hampshire was Watts Regulator in Franklin. He later accepted a position at Aavid Thermalloy in Laconia and his final employment was at Laars Heating in Rochester, NH.
Jeff was loved and respected in both his professional work and personal life. He took pride in his career and family was the most important thing to him. To his joy, the family grew over the years to include 2 grandchildren: Rachael and Ryan Carroll, a daughter-in-law Jennifer (Doleva) Bowser and son-in-law Garrett Berube.
In his spare time, Jeff really enjoyed envisioning changes to their home and then working to make them a reality over the years, taking great pride in this transformation. He also enjoyed the Patriots, antique cars, travel, jazz music, and spending time with family pets. His favorite holiday was Christmas and he took great joy in making this a special time for everyone.
Jeff was most known for his strong character and values, but more importantly for his enormous heart and caring for others.
He has requested a “celebration of life” at the family home, in lieu of funeral services. This will be held on Saturday October, 14, 2017.
In lieu of flowers, the family has asked donations be made to Codepurplenow.org (Suzanne Wright Foundation) for pancreatic cancer or by mail to The Suzanne Wright Foundation, 610 Fifth Avenue, Suite 605, New York, NY 10020.
Wilkinson-Beane-Simoneau-Paquette Funeral Home & Cremation Services, 164 Pleasant Street, Laconia, N.H. is assisting the family with the arrangements.
