Reading a series of obituaries from a single cemetery, as they are presented here, is like reading the multi-generational history of a community. These people were the local populace at a particular time. The people buried here knew each other, were neighbors, relatives and school mates. They attended church together and engaged in "trade" or business. All people are listed in alphabetic order by surname at BIRTH. Women identified by a married alias only and for whom a birth surname can not be identified, are listed on the last page for the cemetery's obituaries. Please send in typed obituaries for people buried in our local cemeteries. If possible include name of newspaper and date. Send typed in your email or in attached Word files. Send to Joyce M. Tice (JoyceTice@aol.com) |

GOWIN - John Iltyd Gowin. On the morning of Tuesday, Jan. 5, 2010, Canton resident John Iltyd Gowin was called by the Lord to his Heavenly Home while at Robert Packer Hospital, surrounded by his loving family. He was 69 years of age. Born Aug. 9, 1940, in New Albany, he was the son of William and Muriel (EVANS) Gowin. In 1958, after high school, John served in the U.S. Army as part of the Signal Corps. Four years later, after returning to civilian life, a friend arranged a blind date for him. When John arrived at the young lady's door he was greeted not by his perspective date, but by a friend of hers who just happened to be there at the same time. Feeling certain that she was the right one he whisked her away in his convertible, and five months later, John and Doris BENNETT were married. Together they raised three sons and a daughter and shared 47 years. Throughout his working life, John was an independent truck driver, hauling rigs for various companies. Many knew him by his C.B. handle, "Tuffy." In fact, John would rather communicate by C.B. radio than by telephone. Most recently, he drove for Matthews Trucking until his health declined. Trucking was his passion and probably no other profession would have afforded him the same satisfaction. John was very meticulous about all of his vehicles. When he wasn't on the road, he was doing maintenance on the engine or polishing the fenders. In his free time, he enjoyed NASCAR and was a great fan of the late Dale Earnhart Sr. He enjoyed country music, more especially the songs pertaining to trucks. In previous years John enjoyed hunting with his sons on Mountain Lake. Although not affiliated with any particular church, John was a man of faith who knew his Lord personally and did strive to walk in His way. He was a good provider and cherished his family to the utmost, taking pride in their achievements and encouraging them during times of difficulty. No matter what, he was always there for them. John is survived by: his wife of 47 years, Doris, at home; sons Brian (and Michele) Gowin and Michael (and Amy) Gowin, all of Canton, and Byron (and Melissa) Gowin of Granville Summit; daughter Michele (and Jerry) Ross of Troy; brothers James Gowin of South Carolina, Richard (and Mary Lou) Gowin of Towanda, and David (and Ann) Gowin of Luthers Mills; sisters Sandra (and Dale) Miller and Carol (and Richard) Minard, all of Towanda, Kristen Packard (and best friend Buzz) of North Carolina, and Deborah (and Kenneth) DeVuyst of New Jersey; 15 grandchildren; three great-grandchildren and one on the way; and his beloved dog Crystal, who was never far from his side. Calling hours will be from 5-9 p.m. Friday at Morse & Kleese Funeral Home, 40 N. Center St. in Canton. A celebration of his life will be held at 11 a.m. Saturday, Jan. 9, with Daniel Walker officiating. Interment will follow in Bradford County Memorial Park. 07 Jan. 2010, Towanda Daily Review.
