Not sure what to say?

Deep sympathy and condolences to all of the Rowley family, especially Steve and Anne and Pat whom I know the best. Your Dad was the main reason I grew to love Auburn hospital and the Auburn community. He was a pillar for all of the physicians there, and such a great leader. And yes, we could always count on him to do the right thing, or to counsel us on what was the right thing, but he always left us with a laugh. He was truly a great, great man. A doctor for all times. I am sure you miss him...

I had the great pleasure of working with your dad at AMH as an RN. He was one of the best

So sorry to hear of Joe's passing. It was a pleasure knowing him for the time that we did, and we feel blessed to have been welcomed into the Rowley family through Chris and Jenny. Joe's love of family and fellow mankind was evident in everything he did, especially in his raising of eight wonderful children and in his care for Angela in times of need. He will be missed but may his memory live on through the generations.

John, very sorry to hear about your father, he was a good man and will be missed. Your old friend Kevin.

Your father and mother will be missed you as well as so many who were impacted by your parents spirit. The Dooleys and Rowleys had many shared memories and encounters over the decades. Thank you for all the fun memories. Mike and I unfortunately will be out of town this coming weekend. We will be making a donation to the hospital in your dads memory. Bless you all and continue to impact the world in the Rowley way!

My deepest condolences to the Rowley Family. Dr Rowley was not only my boss, wonderful mentor but also a cherished friend.
