Stewart Rex Rowsell, 47, known to many as "Uncle Jarge", passed away Monday, November 8, 1993, at the Victoria General Hospital, Halifax. Born in Leading Tickles, Newfoundland, he was the son of Stewart and Mary (Parsons) Rowsell. He joined the Oxford Town Police Department as Chief of Police from 1973-1974, shortly after that, he worked with the Lunenburg town Police Department for one year; leaving there, he joined the Bridgewater Police Association where he served approximately seven and a half years. Upon leaving there, he then went on to assume a full-time career as "Uncle Jarge", with the "Atlantic Show Band". He also produced his own famous radio show on CKBW, Bridgewater, which many would never miss. He is survived by five sons, Warren, Robin, Lee, Peter and Andy, all from Bridgewater; three brothers, Jackie and Butch, Leading Tickles, Nfld.; Glenn, Falmouth, N.S.; two sisters, Yvonne (Mrs. Willie Bridger), Brighton, Nfld.; Faye, Botwood, Nfld. Rex was the proud grandfather of two grandchildren, Natasha and Nathan. The funeral service was held on Thursday, November 11, 1993, at the Holy Trinity Anglican Church, Bridgewater, Rev. John Clarke officiating, assisted by Rev. Jack Hooper. His favourite hymns were "Abide With Me", "Amazing Grace", and a very special one "Just a Closer Walk with Thee". Pallbearers were four members of the Bridgewater Police Association, Dougie Rafuse, Richard Milbury, Wade Keddy and Jerome Richard, also two band members from the Atlantic Show Band, Rod Hyslop and Loran Baker. Interment was at the Brookside Cemetery, Bridgewater.
