Thomas Bowe

Thomas A. Bowe, 82, of Chippewa Falls, town of Eagle Point, died Monday, February 15, 2021 at Sacred Heart Hospital, Eau Claire.

He was born April 18, 1938 in the town of Tilden to Alfreda (Steinmetz) and Arthur Bowe.

They resided in Chippewa Falls where Tom worked for Market & Johnson as a carpenter and was the Carpenter’s Union (#1074) Representative until his retirement in 2000.

Tom enjoyed hunting, fishing, vegetable gardening, feeding the birds, woodworking, sudoku puzzles, and tinkering in the yard and the garage…most of which he did with a cup of coffee in hand. He loved to attend his grandchildren’s sporting events and missed very few.
