He is being remembered as a âgreat mate who looked after everyoneâ.
The husband and father was part of a group who launched a menâs shed at Brooloo just three years ago.
Numabulla Menâs Shed secretary Dennis James said Mr Bowe had been with them from the start. âHe was a very personable fellow, he managed to look after us very well,â he said.
âHe was a great mate.
âWe were all shocked to hear that the accident ⦠actually involved him.
âI spoke to his wife Mary and she seems to be bearing up quite well.â Doug McCallum, Kerry Bowe and Dennis James celebrate the opening of the Tin Can Bay Men s Shed. Picture: Shane Zahner
