To The Dowty Family.
My deepest/sincerest regards at this time of your loss. I first met Gene back in 1985 when I joined the Wings West family. I never got to know Gene real well, but he always had a kind word whenever he came to Los Angeles (Terminal 3) or when I would see him at SBP. He was also well represented by his daughter Joanne.
My prayers for you, are that God will continue to bless you and provide the grace necessary to carry you. Find your strength in knowing you were greatly loved by this man and in time you will see him again.

What a wonderful friend Gene was to so many of us at Wings West/American Eagle. Always smiling, everyone he met became his friend. He was kind and humble. What a joy to have known him. He comforted us with his smile, and was our ray of sunshine on many cloudy days. He made our world a better place...

Gene was such a nice, nice man. He was always ready to give a hand or help in any possible way. It was a pleasure to have known him and worked with him at AE/WW. My sincere condolences go to the family. He will be sorely missed.

Gene was truly an Angel amongst us. He made the world a better place for those of us lucky enough to have known him. He was a hero, a mentor, and a role model to me.
Congratulations on a life well done, my friend!

Mrs. Dowty and family, I was lucky enough to meet Gene at work with American Eagle. His warm glow and easy going nature always made it a pleasure to run into him. What strikes me is that he never forgot me and always greeted me with kindness, sincerity and humbleness. He will not be easily forgotten. My thoughts are with you all.

We are all so sad to hear of Uncle Gene's passing. Sadly, just as with his brother, the WORLD will never know just how much they have lost, but WE who have known and loved them certainly will! The lives they shared with us have made us better people, and have given us the strength to continue on without them, and to reach out to others as they did. For now, we weep with you in your loss, and look forward to the time when "Death will be brought to nothing" (1 Corinthians 15:26). Please know that you are all in our thoughts and prayers. Much love from the Marshall family.

My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Gene was a very kind and wonderful man and I am proud to have known him and been able to share some time with him while working at WW/AE.

Mrs. Dowty, Joanne and family: Thoughtful, kind, and giving are just a few of the attributes that come to mind when I think about "Mr. Dowty."We've lost another great example of "the Greatest Generation." We pray that the Lord who is full of compassion and comfort will be your strength through this time.
