My heartfelt condolences to Ruth, Dave and Nancy. Dr. Bowles was a great man, Engineer and Scientist who inspired many, including myself. I admire his achievements, and cherish the wonderful conversations I had with him in my office at Bowles some years ago. May his Soul rest in Peace. Sri
My sincere condolences to the family. I had the honor of playing music for Mr. Bowles while he was at the Louisa Healthcare Center. He was very kind to me and I enjoyed talking with him. He had a great love and appreciation for music and encouraged me on my path to be a certified therapeutic musician.
Heartfelt condolences to the Bowles family. I remember Dr. Bowles well as my Dad, Howard Rose, was the attorney of record for Bowles Fludics. Dr. Bowles and other founders used to come to our house (known as the Cheese Eaters by Mom) to discuss establishment of the company. Dr. Bowles was always generous with his time and helped me with some physics questions I had.
