Biography
1 of 3 siblings, all brothers. WW II combat beteran. Fought thru Battle of the Bulge & into Germany and was an occupation troop after the end of hostilities. He was the Capt of his HS Football & Basketball teams in Johnstown PA at the Catholic HS. He was a devout Catholic. He attended High Point College in Boone, NC after WW II, where he met and married the love of his life, Victoria Bernice Jackson (b. 4/3/1925 d. 12/2010.) They had 5 children, all daughters born 1950,1952,1954,1957 & 1961. He owned a successful Paper Co. in Washington DC for many years and they lived all their married life at 5001 Aspen Hill Road, Rockville, MD. He was an original member of the St Judes Catholic Church from it's inception in 1954 until he died in 1997. Mr Bowen (as I have always called him) was one hell of a man. An incredible man of honor, work ethic, love of family and dependability. I have tried to mold my life as a father after him. It was an honor to know him.
