Dear Bev,



Am so sorry about Bob's death and am very sorry I was unable to attend the funeral. We all have many wonderful memories of Bob attending the Braemar Golf Spring trips. Hope to see you before long. Am sending my prayers and sympathy.

My thoughts and prayers are with you. I hope you take great comfort in the wonderful promise of our faith--that Mr. Bowler is at peace in the presence of God.

My entry was in error. I meant to say that Bob reminded me of Prince Phillip with his arms behind him as he walked approaching the green, not Prince Charles.

Bob Bowler was a true gentleman. I always thought of him as Prince Charles with his arms behind his back when he walked. Bob and Bev attended our Braemar Spring Golf Trips each year all over the U.S. and they both were a pleasure to have with us....

Bob was always talking about a book he was writing of his Navy days. I hope someday Bev will publish what he wrote for all of us to enjoy.

My thoughts and prayers go to you Bev and your family.

Bowlers,



We were sadden to here of Bob's passing. I have fond memories of the trip up to Fowl Lake with the poker buddies - Chris and I listening in on the debate as to whether the teams have gone around the cribbage board once already or not.



Know that the Bowler family is in our family's prayers.

Mr. Bowler showed us what it means to be a father, neighbor, counselor, and friend. Heaven became a better place when he entered. Wishing the Bowler family peace and serenity.

Mrs. Bowler and family



I am sorry to hear the news of Mr. Bowler's death and I hold all of you in my prayers. Growing up we had the best neighborhood ever because of the legends that we were surrounded by. The man with the book in his hand and pipe in another never without a smile made a huge impression. Mr. Bowler modeled humilty like no other and I was blessed to know him.

~ Our prayers and thoughts to Bev, Tom, Patty, Mike, Rose, and Chris.



Bob was such a wonderfully gentle and kind soul.



His endearing smile / devilish grin and sense of humor were always present at our family events. No doubt that he and his brother, Tom, will be creating some sort of fun mischief up above!



We love you.

God bless,

Robert Law
