James Bowles

If I were to sum up all my feelings about Dr. Bowles, it would come down to just one word, respect.

My memories of Dr. Bowles are of a very kind, and thoughtful man. As a member of the "Org", he was a calming influence, and leader in a gentle way. A rare, and wonderful man. My best to you Mary, and your family.

Dear Mary Bowles,

I am Rida, your foreign daughter when we were in Stevens Point. I am really shock to hear that he passed away, because for several months i keep remembering him and try to find your address to contact, but fail :(.

Herewith, my expression towards Jim:
Frankly, am honored to know him and am glad that i could be his daughter. He's very nice person, gentle and care. Love you.

What an inspiration Dr. Bowles was/is to so many, including me. He was my Sunday school teacher, CS Org adviser and a beloved friend. How can he be missed when he is right here in my heart?

My deepest sympathy Mary and your family for your loss of Jim. I was a natural resources student at UW-SP in the late 60's and early 70's as a graduate student. Jim was a wonderful instructor. I was a wildlife major but enjoyed a few classes with Jim. He was sure down to earth in every way. I can only hope to see him in Heaven getting our hands in the dirt.

I will say a prayer.

Sorry to hear about Mr. Bowles passing. My thoughts and prayers goes out to the whole family.

Mary and Family, so sorry to hear of Jim's passing. Please accept our sympathy. Anita Zalewski Wolfe and Family

So sorry to hear about Jim's passing. I have many fond memories of him as a neighbor and family friend when they lived in Custer. The yearly xmas party as well as skiing and hunting were traditions that I always looked forward to. I can remember their huge dog "king" as well. He was such a friendly dog but he was so big that (when I was younger) he would knock me over! May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

I remember Jim as very friendly & caring person when I met him & Mary while teaching second grade at Rosholt Elementary. Please accept my sympathy but as I once heard, when you live a life like Jim did(caring for others) your memories keep living on. Sincerely, Elaine Bunczak
