Not sure what to say?

Boy I know this one comes late...but I need to put it out there just the same because I was thinking of the good doctor just this AM.

I wanted to share something with him....My son was a patient who coined the phrase "eye camp" for his method...

the same kid that couldn't stand on one leg six years ago....so bad was his convergence vision---he couldn't draw shapes, couldn't see any colors...

This... is what he's able to do...

I am so sorry to hear of Dr. Bowan's passing. My son was a patient of his about 10 years ago before we moved away from the area. Dr. Bowan was always so kind and creative in helping my son who has severe autism. Our new developmental optometrist in Tucson was excited to hear that we had seen Dr. Bowan as he is so well known in the field. I am so very sorry for your loss. He was a very special person.

I just heard of Dr. Bowan's passing today. I am very sorry to hear about your loss. Dr. Bowan was a very kind soul and he will be surely missed by all that knew him. Until we meet again---R.I.P

I was his patient and sorry about his passing I am praying for his family from Chris Gott

Dr. Bowan changed the trajectory of my children's lives; and subsequently the life of my family. I shutter to think where we would be without him. His kindness to me as a desperate, over-taxed mother taught me so much wisdom that I cannot begin to express my gratitude. He is with our Lord and at peace. My most sincerest condolences.

Sorry for your loss.
