Jowey started at Burroughs 2 weeks before I did. We were thick as thieves from the get go, starting with attending Group 1 school together.
I can't say enough good things about this brilliant,gentle and very funny man.
Jowey used to say we were twin brothers by a previous marriage. That is a badge I have and always will wear with honor.
God bless him and God bless Gail.

A very pleasant, nice, polite, professional human being who always enjoyed a good laugh. His family should be very proud of his legacy.

Jowey,
Life often presents us with opportunities without giving us the understanding to recognize them as such. I consider myself fortunate to have had both the opportunity of working closely with you for many years and the perception to recognize what a privilege it was, and would continue to be.
I have valued our friendship over the years that we worked together and the many years since, and have always been proud to be called your “step twin”. I am going to miss your surprise phone calls and the engaging conversations that always resulted.
Thank you and God bless you.

Jowey, you were the best presenter to ever address a group of customers here at Unisys Tredyffrin. I loved to hear you talk.
Thank you for the donation of the Burroughs adding machine for the technology showroom - we cherish it, and we cherish our memories of you.
Thanks for introducing me to the Animaniacs!
Rest in peace.

I worked with Jowey 20 years ago in Sales Training. He was an inspiration to those he taught and worked with. "God willin and the crick don't rise" I'll see him again.

Jowey was such a clever, humorous person to be with. He was a passionate believer, before many others were, the the Internet would amount to something big. So did you Jowey!

As you depart, the sun's a little dimmer; the colors, less vivid; the sky a bit more cloudy. But in Heaven, they rejoice, for their beloved, and inspiring, brother has returned.
We'll miss you, my old college friend.

Joe was the teacher of my class on the Burroughs CP9500 Communications Processor in the early 1980s. He was articulate and possessed an amusing wit.

I worked with Jowey at Unisys. We never had the chance to work on the same product, but we were co-workers in the ClearPath Business Initiative in the late 90's and 2000. I enjoyed his great wit and excellent taste in clothes. He was a great guy! My thoughts and prayers are with you.
