As we bid farewell to this luminous soul, let his loved ones carry forward the torch of his memory, illuminating the path ahead with the warmth of his love and the brilliance of his spirit. Though Robert may journey beyond the horizon of our sight, his essence remains woven into the very fabric of our being — a guiding light in the darkness, a beacon of hope in the night.

He was predeceased by: his wife Margo McGowan. He is survived by: his sons, Brian McGowan and Barry McGowan. He is also survived by grandchildren; and his six brothers and sisters.
