Oscar Rea Mowery Jr.

I just recently learned of Rea's passing. I thought the world of him and wish I had known and been able to attend his service. We worked together for several years at RSF National Bank. I loved his stories and loved his knowledge of history. But what I admired most about Rea was his love for his wife Betty, his children and his grandchildren. As I told my friend Kim (who also worked with Rea), I realize he lived a full and good life.....but somehow this world does not seem quite the same...

My deepest sympathy to you for your loss. Almighty God can revive the heart of those being crushed. Isaiah 57:15

Ray was a great friend to both my parents Vern and Betty Simmons.
Dad and Rea fished the trout stream of Oregon, comradery my father cherished. He was there to celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary and to help my father through the passing of my mom.
He was an endless source of knowledge about Rancho Santa Fe.
Rea was just a class act and will be missed

Rea, you will be deeply missed in Rancho Santa Fe and the many other places where you spent time. Your passion for life and helping to make things better will always be remembered by those who knew you. The last years you were in Rancho I enjoyed our working together to help ensure that the Rancho Santa Fe Historical Society would continue to grow.
Your smile and sense of humor will make Heaven a happier place.

I did not know you Mr. Mowery but listen to Mary and Kim( grand children). You were a remarkable person. RIP

“This is the will of my Father, that everyone who recognizes the Son and exercises faith in him should have everlasting life.”—John 6:40. God's promise to us to help us endure in this difficult time. Sincerely; LaRae

Always a conciliatory kind way to assist, no matter the political foray I was in.

Thanks for being such a great neighbor, Rea. After we moved in 1999, we missed you and Betty. May we all get to be neighbors once again, someday. Rest in peace.

We will miss.Rea's smile and wonderful sense of humor and fun. He will live on through each of his and Betty's children, grand and great grand children so we will never forget the wonderfully unique person he was to all of us.
