He grew up in Montreal where he met the love of his life, Susie. Together they started their family and moved to Lunenburg County, Nova Scotia. Lender was a “Jack of all trades” kind of guy.

Working with stone became his passion and he continued in this line of work for over 30 years. As the oldest son in a family of nine children, Lender was looked upon, as the head of his family after both parents were deceased. He was a kind-hearted man who loved spending time with his brothers fishing, hunting and reminiscing. He is survived by his wife Alberta “Susie” (Laurie), son Lender Bowles (Andrea Conrad), grandchildren Stella and William, daughter Laura Bowles (Paul Charron), brothers Richard (Debbie) Bowles, Billy (Anne) Bowles, John (Claire) Bowles, Donald (Brenda) Bowles, Gerry (Ruby) Bowles, Bobby Wright, and sister Donna (Tim) McGary, sister in-law Heather Bowles, and numerous nieces and nephews.
