Dr. Gowder, I celebrate your heavenly re-birth, but deeply mourn your absence here with us on this foreign terrain we call home.

I knew David as a school mate, husband to a beloved cousin, a skilled physician, a counselor, a loving father and grandfather , a friend, teacher and so much more.

Lita and girls, Larry and I are so sorry for your loss. I worked with David when he first came to work at Union General. He was kind and compassionate,and a great doctor. Praying for you in the days ahead.

The beautiful obituary is a fitting tribute to Dr. Gowder. David was a perfect gentleman, a fine physician, a good citizen, a loving family man and a pleasure to be with. Lamentably, our contacts were limited and brief. Nevertheless, Madeline and I are proud to call him our friend. Lita and the girls, your devotion, courage and strength were models for the rest of us. Who could have done more ? In the best and in the worst of times. With Love and heartfelt sympathy, Dudley Bowen
