to others and felt it was a person's responsibility to give of oneself to his fellow man. Although he gave unselfishly in a lot of personal ways, he also held leadership positions in various organizations and church over the years. He stayed actively involved in the world all of his life and illuminated the world wherever he was. Even at the end of his life, while hospitalized and critically ill, he lightened the load of medical personnel with his glorious smile, his gentle manner, and his appreciation for them. He was a loving, devoted husband and father, the very best a family could have. He was dearly loved and admired by his family and relatives, who looked upon him as a role model and a source of inspiration, and he had a significant place in their lives. In the following poem, "Recipe For Living", author, Mr. Alfred Grant Walton aptly characterizes Mr. Joseph Nicholson Bowen, who exhibited all of the qualities for successful living described in this poem: Some things a man must surely know, If he is going to live and grow: He needs to know that life is more Than what a man lays by in store, That more than all he may obtain, Contentment offers greater gain, He needs to feel the thrill of mirth, To sense the beauty of the earth, To know the joy that kindness brings And all the worth of little things. He needs to have an open mind, A friendly heart for all mankind, A trust in self-without conceit- And strength to rise above defeat. He needs to have the will to share, A mind to dream, a soul to dare, A purpose firm, a path to plod, A faith in man, a trust in God. What a wonderful man! What a magnificent life! What an inspiring legacy! Simply the best! We will always love and miss you, Daddy. Your children., Make a memorial contribution |

At the time of retirement, he was assigned to the Quartermaster Center and School's Mortuary Affairs Center.
