It is with great sadness I have learned of the death of another FNZAS Life Member, Eddie Bowen.

Eddie used to belong to the Marlborough Aquarium Club before I was born!

An enthusiastic conference attendee for many years, conferences won't be the same without him

On the bus trips, our other recently late LM, John Eastwood, would always buy Eddie the biggest ice cream in a cone he could get as he knew Eddie loved ice cream and always enjoyed the treat very much.

For many years now Eddie has resided in Christchurch, the past few years in St Nicholas' Hospital, after a stroke. He had another stroke last week and did not recover.

Our condolences go to his family at this time.

His death notice was in today's Press and will be in tomorrow's as well with funeral details. Any local club members able to attend, please do so.

I only met Eddie once, but it was apparent he enjoyed being part of the fish keeping community. My condolences go out to his friends and family. I will be going to the funeral, anyone who wants to join me, is more than welcome.

Condolences to his friends and family. It is very saddening for a community like ours to lose one of our own.

Condolences to Eddie's Family

RIP, Eddie.

I bet you know who is waiting at the Pearly Gates with a triple scoop, enjoy Eddie.

The two of them will have already built a huge pond up there too :roll:
