Mr. Bowers was a person that was always there for you for any reason. He was my favorite teacher (DE-Springfield,class of 1975). I stopped by quite a few times to visit with him when I would see him in his yard working. He always greeted me with a smile and always remembered my name. He will be deeply missed. My thoughts and prayers are with you Mrs. Bowers and your family at this time.

So sorry for your loss Joyce. Many times I passed your home on Canton rd and would see Tom in your yard and wave wishing I could stop for a moment but did not. I regret that now. You will be sorely missed Mr. Bowers. You were a great teacher.

I taught with Tom at Springfield High School and remember him as a great teacher and very nice man. If I'm not mistaken, I believe he raised German Shepherds. Although I haven't seen him since I left teaching, I would wonder if he still raised the dogs and lived in the same home. May God bless and comfort his family with wonderful memories.

Mr. BOWER was one of my favorite teachers. He taught with enthusiasm and firmness. When my girlfriend and I got too silly he nicknamed us " gypsies ". I will never forget him. My deepest sympathy to his family.
