Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
A Twin With His Own Style
He may have been an identical twin, but Kevin L. Bowser, 45, was no carbon copy of his genetically significant other. "We hadn't dressed alike since grade school," said Kelvin Bowser. Though people confused the two, the brothers rarely played upon their surface sameness — except as boys. When one faced a trip to the principal's office, he tended to claim that he had been mistaken for his twin.
Kevin was a vegetarian, a discipline that became more pronounced after their mother's death from cancer in 1991. Philadelphia Eagles fans since they were 5, they attended the same college, Kutztown State in Pennsylvania, at the instigation of their high school football coach; Kevin played defensive end.
After getting his business degree, Kevin stayed in Philadelphia, married and had two children, but commuted to a Wall Street job in Marsh & McLennan's technology division, teaching brokers how to use their computer software. This year he obtained company financing for the community football team that his twin coaches in southwest Philadelphia. "We hadn't even written the thank-you letter yet," Kelvin said.
I rode the train to New York with Kevin on that morning. He was a really nice guy with a great sense of humor. We had no idea what was in-store for us that morning. RIP

I'm sorry to everyone this day still brings tears to my eyes and hurts my heart! Never knew how much I truly loved Kevin most of all I respected him. Kelvin we sweated together @Kutztown don't have to tell you how great your twin was. You are a carbon copy! Not many people I've ever felt fortunate to know but the Bowser family are just that for me. Love 4Ever.

You never forget a good friend who makes you smile brighter and happy whenever you see them. This was Kevin, a good soul with lots of charm. You will always be missed my friend.

I can still hear you giving orders. They say God take the good ones early sometime and I believed that 20 years ago.
Rest in Paradise until we meet again.
