Miles V. Cowdrey

This man made an incredible contribution to my life. He was like a second father, a musical one. He taught me trumpet and music from the age of 10, involved me in everything he could and nurtured my musicianship till he passed. He was always involved. He loved music. He started the summer music program at Ship U (Festival Chamber Orchestra), directed the brass ensemble, played with The Shippensburg Band, even directed the choir at the Presbyterian Church. His contributions were innumerable....

Dear Marge, Carole and Doug,
We learned of Miles' death today (8/2) through John's daughter, Gail, who e-mailed us his obituary that was in Public Opinion. We are much saddened by this news.
May you find comfort and peace through God's Holy Word, the love of family and friends, and with the knowledge that he was a caring and loving husband and father, a fine musician and a dedicated music educator. John was privileged to be is friend and colleague.
Cherish the sweet...

We have wonderful memories of all those years on Herwen Drive--good friends, good times! And Miles is the one who took Sarah and Dale to the hospital when Sarah hurt her leg. And stayed with them until I arrived. No truer friend than one who is there in time of need.
Our thoughts are with you, Marge, Carole and Doug!
Our love, Mary Lynn and Dale

Vjechnaja Pamjat, Miles. Memory Eternal.
