Mr. Bowen,
Sir, I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for our Country when you served in the U.S. Army during WW II and for being a member of the Greatest Generation. And to your family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

Edith & Family,
He will be missed. He always took the time to stop and say "Hello" as he drove by in the neighborhood. Ken gave me really good military advice after I enlisted in the Naval Reserve. He was a great neighbor. My parents took to heart the day Ken stopped to tell them they had raised two great kids. Our thoughts and prayers our with you.

Dear Edith and Family,
Our deepest sympathy on Ken's passing. I worked at Norwood Hospital when Ken was the Orthopedic tech & have many, many fond memories of our times there. He was always upbeat even in the most stressful situations. A good soul to all.
