Lowe; Gary Gilbert

91 Condolences

Lowe, Gary Gilbert, age 68, of Milton, passed away on Saturday, April 2nd, 2016, in the Queens General Hospital, Liverpool, with his loving family by his side.

 Born on May 4th, 1947 in Milton he was a son of the late Cecil and Genevieve (Glode) Lowe.

 He is survived by his loving wife of 50 years, Hattie; daughters, Noelle (Richard) Metzger, of Western Head, Genny Lowe (Scott Lewis), of Eastern Passage; son, Gary Lowe, of Milton; grandchildren, Brandon and Makayla Lowe; also a number of brothers, sisters, nieces and nephews.

 Gary was an active member of the Acadia Band and was well known as “Uncle” throughout the Mi`kmaq  community. In his youth he placed 2nd in the Indian Summer Games in Eskasoni in canoeing in the early 70’s. He was an avid trapper, hunter (loved hunting at the Haunted Bog) and fisherman in his earlier days.

 Gary retired from the Bowater Mersey Paper Company where he worked for 37 years. After retirement he spent his time lobstering in Yarmouth for 10 years. He also enjoyed his yearly 3 to 4 month vacation in Cape Breton moose hunting.

 His hobbies included cribbage, backgammon, Word Search puzzles and picking cranberries in the fall and giving them to people who wanted them. He was rarely seen without his companion Annie, his pet dog who predeceased him in 2014. Gary looked forward to his occasional visits across the street to visit his brother Eric’s shed.

 Gary was a respected member of the community and was well thought of by his family, friends and peers. He will be greatly missed.

 Cremation has taken place under the direction of Chandlers’ Funeral and Cremation Service, Liverpool. A private service will be held at a later date. No flowers by request. Donations may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society. To share memories or condolences, please visit www.chandlersfuneral.com

  7. To Hattie and the rest of Gary’s family, we were saddened to read of the passing of your dear Gary. He was always smiling when we would meet him. Please accept our condolences in your loss.

  8. Rest well Uncle Gary, you will be missed. Hattie, Genny, Gary and Noelle – this tribute poem by Chief Tecumseh is just like Uncle Gary how he lived his life and how he embraced the painful struggle at the end – Uncle Gary was a good man and is a hero who is home. You are all in our hearts.

    “So live your life that the fear of death can never enter your heart.
    Trouble no one about their religion; respect others in their view, and
    Demand that they respect yours. Love your life, perfect your life,
    Beautify all things in your life. Seek to make your life long and
    Its purpose in the service of your people.

    Prepare a noble death song for the day when you go over the great divide.
    Always give a word or a sign of salute when meeting or passing a friend,
    Even a stranger, when in a lonely place. Show respect to all people and
    Bow to none. When you arise in the morning, give thanks for the food and
    For the joy of living. If you see no reason for giving thanks,
    The fault lies only in yourself. Abuse no one and nothing,
    For abuse turns the wise ones to fools and robs the spirit of its vision.

    When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts
    Are filled with fear of death, so that when their time comes
    They weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again
    In a different way. Sing your death song like a hero going home.”
