Milo Bowen Obituary

Milo Bowen
September 28, 1931 - May 14, 2025
Milo Joseph Bowen, 93, passed away peacefully on May 14th, surrounded by love and family.
A lifelong resident of the shoreline area, Milo was a man of intellect, integrity, and quiet strength. He spent many years as General Manager of Robertshaw Controls, where he was respected for his leadership and dedication.
Milo was a reader, a thinker, and a writer-someone who found joy in exploring ideas and sharing them with others. Whether in quiet conversation or written word, he always had something meaningful to offer.
He is survived by his loving wife, Laurie; his son, Brian; his daughter, Lynne; his younger brother, Thomas; his sister-in-law, Sally; his four beloved granddaughters who brought him immeasurable joy and pride; and many loving nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his sisters Mary and Peggy and his brother John.
Milo's wisdom, warmth and unwavering love for his family will be remembered and cherished. He leaves behind a legacy of kindness, curiosity and thoughtfulness.
A private memorial will be held by the family.

Our condolences to Aunt Laurie, Brian and Lynn and also all the Bowens. Uncle Milo was such a wonderful man and welcomed me many years ago into the Bowen family. I looked forward to talking to him about many topics, he had such a knowledge of so many things we would discuss. My sons all feel the same way as he came to many of their basketball games and just enjoyed watching them play. Aunt Laurie and Uncle Milo were always such an inspiration to John and I over the years. When I think of Uncle Milo it brings such a smile to my face and I think that is one of best legacy that anyone can leave. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all and he will certainly be missed by anyone who had the chances to know and love him.

Sending love and prayers to my Aunt Laurie, cousins Lynne and Brian and their families. My Uncle Milo was a lovely man and many of my happiest childhood memories include him. Holidays, family events, pool days.
He had a wonderful laugh and smile and loved a good conversation. Whenever we visited thru the years he always expressed interest in my life.
Growing up we were shown a great example of love by the respect the "Bowen siblings" showed each other, their spouses and children. I felt love from each of my Aunts and Uncles, still do.
My Father adored his brothers and sisters, we felt that always, still do.
It is with a heavy heart that we say goodbye to my Uncle Milo but I do believe that loved ones are always with us. I need only think of our summer days at the pool, all of us together and a smile immediately forms.
Uncle Milo. God bless.
Love you always, Thomas aka Tommy
