It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Raymond Bruce Dowe on Saturday, July 6, 2024 in Ottawa, ON. Beloved husband of 45 years to Donna Marie Dowe (nee Duquette). Loving father to Christopher Matthew (Laura Ortori). Adoring grandfather to Sofia Isabella and Lilah Marie. Dear brother to Barbara Bern (late John), Brian (Charlene), Joe (Brenda) and Ian Dowe. Predeceased by his parents Raymond and Gwendolyn Dowe, his brothers Wayne and Garry Dowe and sister, Nancy Kenney.
Bruce will be remembered as a man of few words whose gentle presence was always felt and whose actions spoke volumes. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him.

Donna I am so sorry to read about your loss. The notice is true Bruce was a man of few words but a force when he did speak. I wish I could be there to see you and family personally on the 9th but unfortunately I will be away. However you, Christopher and family will be in my thoughts. Please feel free to reach out anytime but feel confident that you always have been a strong person plus that strength must have permeated through your family. Take care.
