Just desired to share that as a Pharmacist district supervisor for a national chain in the 80s and 90s,I interacted with Dennis,professionally, as he had a significant top management position where Dennis oversaw nearly 200 pharmacy store operations. Proud to say Dennis highest standards for operations, customer/patient services, personnel, appearance and teamwork to attain and exceed corporate goals and expectations were always high evident. On a personal side, I can share too how caring and proud Dennis was of his family,his lovely wife, Gail, and his fine son, Bryan , who was an All-Star multi-sport stellar athlete at Archbishop Curley HS at that time, both as a pitcher and shooting guard. Vividly remember his precious daughter Kellie, a Catholic High cheerleader at Bryan's Curley's games, as our son played for a rival school. Dennis was a fierce competitor and exhibited passion in his pursuits. Well done,Dennis Bowen, as a most successful husband and father and professional executive.
I am proud to have befriended Dennis.
