I am saddened and shocked to hear about Cameron's passing. I regret that I didn't know and couldn't attend the funeral. I met him in November of 2009 after his wife's passing, he missed her very much. He always spoke about his family and grandchildren and how much he loved them all and his dog Charlie who was a great companion to him.  I will remember seeing him on 264 with the top down on the convertible and his cool sunglasses on with a big smile on his face.  He was a true gentleman and family man who loved life and his friends and his family and I don't think he ever met a stranger. I am glad I got to be his massage therapist and friend and listen to his stories. To his family, I'm very sorry for your loss, all of our loss, he was always proud of and loved you all very much.

I only knew Cameron for a moment, but he was already in my heart. He was a very special person. He seemed caring, kind, charming, and a "gentle" man in the truest sense of that word. I looked forward to seeing him every time he came in to see me at Willis Furniture. He had a twinkle in his eye and a kind word for everyone. I will miss him.
I am sorry for your loss. I know he had a large family because he spoke about all of you!

I am sorry to hear of Cameron passing, I first met him in 1964 when I went to work at the Smith Douglas Plant in Chespeake. We work together for seven years, I knew him and his wife very well, I would like to meet his family some day. Maurice H Oliver

To the Bowen Family,  I have only known your Dad for thee weeks.  I am very great full to have met such a caring man, who was proud of his family.  We both shared  a passion for pictures. He brought over a album to my desk and explained each family member to me. And he was proud of each and every family member. I will sure miss Cameron coming in each day with his wonderful smile. May God Bless your whole entire family and friends during this difficult time

It was a true pleasure to have known Cameron. He was a smart businessman and a wonderful human being that most certainly enjoyed life. Please accept my sincere condolences to the entire Bowen family and all that worked closely with him.  He will be greatly missed.

Jimmy, Bobby, Tommy, and John,  I was very sorry to hear of Cameron's passing.  He was a great guy.  I enjoyed my 20 or so years of working with him.  He will be missed.  Judi Bowman, Hertford, NC

I was introduced to Cameron and spent a few hours with him just over a month ago. It was a wonderful meeting as he was truly gracious and obviously caring of his family, loved ones and community. At the funeral of my daughter's father-in-law, Alan Lindauer, this past Saturday it occured that Cameron might have known him and I would ask during my scheduled call this past Monday. I was stunned to read the Sunday paper - as were all who knew Cameron. My deepest sympathies to his family and loved ones for their great loss.

Tommy,Bobby and Jimmy : I am truly sorry to hear of Cameron's passing.
I have know Cameron and the boys for several years in business and personally. He was alway a gentleman and great person. My sympathy to the Bown family.

To Jim and your brothers and extended family, Beth and I were so sorry to hear of your loss. Your Dad was a great neighbor and a heck of a nice guy, especially with all the kids around the neighborhood at Halloween. Our prayers are with you and your family at this difficult time.

John,

I was so saddened to hear of your loss.  I have always enjoyed talking with Cameron over the years at the Plant Food Association of NC meetings.  He always seemed to me to be a kind and gentle spirit and he will be missed.  Please take comfort that you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. Although your memories may be painful today, they will bring you smiles and happiness in the future.

So sad to read of the passing of Mr Bowen.  It was always a pleasure to serve the gentleman when he dined where I am employed.  May the smiles of  memories dry the tears of lost.

My thoughts are with your family during this difficult time.

We already miss Mr. Bowen's friendship and his calm matter-of-fact way. We always looked forward to his visits. The world will surely be a little different without this gentleman in it. Our hearts hurt with yours; we are sorry for his unexpected departure.

I am very proud to say that I had this man in my life and he was so good to me and my family through all the years and stayed my friend and I will always call him my father-in-law.  Thank you for all the wonderful memories and love my dear Cameron, I love you so much and the world will never be the same without you in it.  Melissa Voigt Bizub

Very shocked and sorrowful on learning of Cameron's sudden passing. Whenever there was an important event that involved FAMILY, without regard for which one, you knew that Cam would always be present and helpful. He was real blessing to all who knew him, and to many that didn't. He will be greatly missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with his children and other family...Tomarie and Tom Boyd

Jimmy,Bobby,Tommy,John & your families----No one man could ever measure to your Dad. What a great man, a  true Southern gentleman. He was your Mothers soul mate, they were inseperable--I am sure he held that special smile on his face knowing he would finally be back with his LOVE. He has given you all the roots you needed to grow your precious families and he was confident in knowing you will. He was very proud of each one of you! May peace be with you all in this sad time. He will be missed.

Dear Jimmy, Bobby, Tommy, & John: I have many fond memories of your Dad, and I was so deeply sorry to hear of his sudden passing. Please know how sorry I am for your loss. God will comfort you always. Remember to hold on to the many memories you had together. Your father was a special man, and always knew how to comfort others when they needed it the most. I know from experience as he comforted me many times over the years. Be strong for each other and know that many of us are praying for your entire family at this sad time. Cameron will be remembered forever in our hearts as a "True Southern Gentleman".

John and Sherry,
   So sorry to hear about your loss.  I will be thinking of you and praying for your family at this time. I didn't know your Dad but from what I have read, it appears that he was a great guy.

Cameron had such impact on so many lives.  The ones he cherished most was his sons.  Thank you for believing in me, also.  You will be forever fondly remembered by me and my son.

Cameron was a pillar in the fertilizer industry, a mentor to me personally, a true friend on who's words you could undoubtably trust. He will be greatly missed in the industry, but more so by all of us he touched, with his kindness and friendship.

Dear John and Bobby,

I am sorry to hear about the passing of your father.  I pray that the Lord will give you and your family strength during this difficult time.  You are in my thoughts and prayers.  

Mike Powell, Helena Chemical ( Olive Branch, MS)

  Jim, Bobby, Tommy & John.

   My thoughts and prayers are with all of your family, at this time.
   My family knew your father through Royster Fertilzer. Lynn and myself knew and saw both of your parents, before we moved away to Georgia. Remember the trip we took to see Cameron and Lynn who were working in Athens, GA. Two mothers, 7 children,
one dog, and no one knew each other. Memories. Cherish them.
