Clive Rowley

Clive R. Rowley, a beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend, passed away on May 10th in Frederick at the age of 82. He was surrounded by his loving family during his final moments.

Born on February 4th, 1941 in Washington DC the year of the JEEP to his parents and survived by his wife Peggy Rowley, daughters, Becky Thompson and husband, Paul, Ginny Rinehart and husband Tom, Robby Rowley and husband, Dorian, sister Valerie Remson, grandchildren, Abby Pepper, Jack Anspach, Greyson Pepper and Ella Rinehart and cousin Robert Rowley and wife Susan. Clive grew up to be an exceptional person with a great passion for living life to the fullest.

Clive was a Union Glazier retiring after thirty-seven years. He took immense pride in his work and always went above and beyond for all those he worked with. It was at one such job that Clive first met the love of his life Peggy Rowley; while installing glass and mirrors at the Montgomery County Courthouse Peggy was constructing the elevator at the courthouse. They were married in the finished building in 1982.

Clive will be remembered for his love of people -- making friends anywhere he went -- especially during his time as a member of the MVPA (Military Vehicle Preservation Association) and WAC B&G (Washington Area Collectors/Blue and Gray Military Vehicle).

Clive loved life's simple pleasures; laughing with family or spending time with family. His family meant everything to him. Clive's proudest accomplishment came not from his career but from his family.

Clive will always be remembered for his kind heart and enthusiasm for life. He will be dearly missed by all who knew him.
