Obituary of Tom Nowlan

It is with great sadness and heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Franklin “Tom” Lloyd Glenwood Nowlan of Kingsley Road, NB on Sunday, June 23, 2024 at the Oromocto Public Hospital, Oromocto, NB. Born on November 17, 1933 in English Settlement, he lived on the Kingsley Road for almost 50 years. He was the son of the late Kirby and Gladys (Keenan) Nowlan. Tom was an old school mechanic; people brought their cars and trucks from all different places for him to look under the hood, he also drove gravel trucks. He always said when someone passed away, they “folded their mitts,” well he finally folded his.
