In loving memory of our dear Dad Bernard Matthew Bowkis who sadly passed away on 27th March 2024

Our dear Daddy passed away peacefully at the age of 90 and will be missed very deeply by his loving wife and our dear Mum Flo.

A wonderful, wonderful man with the biggest of hearts, always making us laugh with his wicked sense of humour, making jokes out of nearly everything we would say to him.

A devoted and loving father and proud Grandad, Great Grandad and Great Great Grandad to Jay, Debbie, Nikki, Lauren, Gemma, Sophie, Alana, Ronnie, Alfie, Louis, Tommy, Fin, Henry and Carter.

You will be very sadly missed by each and everyone one of your loving family and will be forever in our hearts.

Instead of flowers if you would like to make a contribution to a charity very close to our hearts, a donation to Cancer Research UK would be most appreciated.

Elaine, Steve and Sharon

This is a charity veru close to my heart too as well you know....34 years ago yesterday my Mum left us so today was a challenge for more reasons than one. Your Dad was a wonderful man and truly was as Steve said today, "a man's man"
Sleep tight Bernie....it was a privilege to have known you and be part of your family

In memory of dear Bernie, the most wonderful father in law I could have wished for.
I will always remember his endless silly jokes, how proud he always was of his children and grandchildren, and his absolute devotion and love to dear Flo.
Rest in peace now dear Bernie ❤️xx
