Ronald Bowker passed away in San Diego, California. The obituary was featured in San Diego Union-Tribune on June 14, 2009, and San Diego Union-Tribune on June 14, 2009.
Uncle Ron will be greatly missed. His warm smile when we visited was always a nice welcome. I will never forget his fantastic "spaghetti" that he always made with such pride. With sympathy, his nephew, Rob Bowker

While reading the notes from Aunt Marian, Uncle Bob, and several cousins, I realize how scattered families are. It is sad. As the oldest Bowker neice, I remember Uncle Ron's wit and impish grin. He was very special and will be misseed. Love and prayers to Aunt MJ, Steve, and Dave.

Hi Mary Jane, I have fond memories of you and Ron, even after over 45 years without seeing you two. Bev has kept me up-to-date on you and your family, however, I wish I had seen Ron in recent years. Your wonderful memories of Ron will bode you well, as will your fine family.God bless you all.

My prayers are for God's comfort for Mary and their sons and daughters-in-law. Ron, despite his often " hang loose " demeanor, was a consummate professional. He was mentor to many, a leader in his profession, and a genuine friend.

Ron was Registrar when I began working at UCSD in 1978. It was so much fun during his reign. With his staff, he'd say "Come on in" whenever you needed to talk. He was always casual, engaging, and considered what you were saying which made you feel comfortable and confident. This is what I remember about him and will never forget. And a great sense of humor!

I became part of Ron's UCSD family as a student assistant in 1972. I was immediately in awe of this confident and thoughtful man who often seemed deep in thought. He was sweet, charming, and always ready with a smile. I will miss his wonderful ways forever. He mentored so many and was an outstanding and generous gentleman.

Dear Aunt Mary, Steve and Dave
My deepest sympathy and prayers go to you. I have fond memories of our big reunion in Las Vegas. Distance keeps the family from enjoying more of them.
