Missing u Pops continue to rest my love!!!

My son, adored Charles. Was a bright spot in his morning + afternoon school routine. We miss him so much.

Your last birthday! You were so happy to receive so much love. I miss you so much. But I know your dancing in heaven. Until we meet again. Always daddy's little girl!

I met Mr Charles briefly when I was visiting my daughter Laura Burnett who lived next door. Our meeting was brief but I was touched by his sweet countenance. A lovely person to know and to have as a neighbor. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends. 

I was in Charles’ veterans group. He was a fine individual and he will be missed.

My condolences to Charles’s family. Charles was a good friend and a brother in arms.

I met Charles in a Vietnam Veteran's group at the Vet Center. Another Vietnam brother leaves us. Rest in Peace buddy.


Charles from one Vet to another may God provide you with your wings and may you rest in peace.

I meet Charles at the  IRS while  detailed on swing shifts  back in the 90' s in the computer room. He  would  help me to stay awake because i was  not use to  late night  shift so he was the one that provided my coffee to keep me  alert .lol    He was a true friend and a big brother . You will  be missed my friend.

I would love to Thank each and everyone of you on the behalf of the Bowen Family. Your kind words and beautiful actions have made this process easier. You have shown me personally that my Dad was not just a Father to me but a Father to his community. 
Now that I look to the Heavens and the sun shines bright I will know he is up their with our Lord and Savior Smiling and he is alright.
Much Love again
RIH my King you have definitely earned your wings!❤️❤️❤️

Charles was a wonderful, thoughtful & supportive neighbor who took the time to reach out to us over the years. We will truly miss his smile and words of encouragement.  May the Father hold Charles in the hollow of His hands...

Mr. Charles was truly someone that I looked forward to seeing. He was always so kind and cared about all of the kids he came across. He learned all of their names and their siblings name as well. He watched them grow up and he shared his warmth with each one of them. He even remembered the kids who were grown up and came back to Windermere. Not a day went by where kids didn’t wave and shout to him as they were passing by in their cars. I’m thankful and very lucky to know a man like Mr. Charles. My condolences to his family and I hope he is resting easy in paradise.

My love and prayers are with you all during such a tremendous time of loss. May the Lord give you strength and comfort. 
♥️🙏🏽🕊🦋
May your daddy be at peace.
Rest in Paradise

I will miss Brother Charles  that is what I called him. he would always say , how you doing sister Rhodes? Whenever there was a question about something at church.prayers for the family😥

My deepest condolences goes out to the Bowen family.  My Dad Julius Walker sends his condolences also. God bless

I worked closely with Charles for many of years.  Through the years, we had many long conversations about all kinds of things.  After he retired, he told me he was going to work with children as a crossing guard.  From what others have said, I'm not surprised they loved him to.  He was a kind and thoughtful person.  He always had a good word to say about everyone.  He truly was a nice person and a pleasure to work with.  I will miss him.  

May you Rest in Peace, Mr. Bowen. Lifting all your family up in prayer, Kimberly. 🙏🏾

My Heart and Prayers rest with you in this time of need. God Bless you Kim. May he give you strength in your time of need.🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾❤️

Loved Mr. Charles.  I worked with him at Windermere Elem. he was so great with the children.  He loved each and everyone of them and they loved him.  If he couldn't come in to sign his timesheet I would take it out to him and always made sure he had his t-shirt that we would get from the school.  May our Lord bless and comfort you and your family during this time of grief. Please accept my sincere condolences.  Kim Sanders 

Mr. Bowen was a proud father, grandfather, and servant of The Lord.
He was kind, humble, and always had a smile on his face. He carried himself with dignity & respect. I admired him for how he raised his daughters in the church and supported them in school & church activities; as well as his grandchildren.  He was a true man of God & pillar of our community.  His smile and kind spirit will truly be missed. My Sincerest prayers & condolences  go to his family during this time of bereavement.  May The Lord comfort you during this time.
Respectfully,
Andria

This man was a delight to little 10-11 year old me, every morning I would ride my bike to school and he was always on the cross walk to greet me and make sure it was safe. I remember he told me how to keep myself warm when it was really cold out, you will be missed ❤️

Thank you Bro. Bowen for touching our hearts and souls.  You are missed already and I will never forget you and the bright light you brought into our lives.  I will miss hearing say “you know sister Wood”❤️❤️😢😢🙏🏾🙏🏾.  RWG and his heavenly choir.

To the family of charles Bowen I would like to send my condolence and best wishes my experience with knowing him has been a good one I know he's looking down in heaven this day with a smile on his face sayingI made it finally.

First of all my condolence to the family . My family and I have lived in front of Charles for 21 years , He was truly one of the nicest people I have encountered in my life , Always had a kind word .Thank you for all the advice you gave me over the years. You knew how to put a positive spin on a negative situation. My wife will miss your tea cakes that you would bring over when you made a batch. You truly will be missed.

Mr. Charles was our crossing guard and he was always so nice and funny. Mr. Charles offered to help our family during hard times because our family was dealing with a lot. We loved mr. Charles so much he was our biggest part of the morning. We will miss you so much mr. Charles!!! 

Since I was introduced to Mr. Charles M. Bowen, known as Grand, I was heavily influenced by his kindness and love for his Masonic and Eastern Star family. He accepted us with open arms and a warm smile. He will forever remain in our hearts. 

My family and I have lived next door to Charles for the last 5 years and he was an absolutely AMAZING Man and neighbor.  Words can not describe how we feel about him. We will truly miss him and all our little chats. I would often meet up with him for breakfast at Amigos BBQ around the corner and have the best conversations about life and family. He truly loved his family and loved life. He was and always will be an inspiration to me and my 2 daughters. 

I was so very sorry to hear this news. My two boys and I have lived next door to Mr. Charles for the past 12 1/2 years. He was truly one of the nicest people I have ever met. He always stopped to chat when we saw each other in the yard or driveway. I felt such a comfort having him next door.  We will miss him very much. May God bless his family and give them peace.  

My deepest sympathies to Charles’ family. Charles was a kind and generous man. we were neighbors for 20 years. He had the best smile and a hearty laugh! He will be missed.

I’m sorry for your loss he will be greatly missed and never forgotten.

I am honored and blessed to have known Mr. Charles Bowen for many years.  I am very sad to hear of  his unexpected passing. He was truly a blessing in my life and I will miss him. 
I ask that his family members please accept my sincere and deepest condolences.

May he Rest In Peace.

WM. Charles Bowen was a great brother and he helped me out in a lot of ways in understanding not only the game of life but understanding a lot about myself. I want to send my condolences out to the family members of Charles Bowen, he was a great man and he will be missed he did a lot of things for the community and for our lodge and I will miss him dearly.

 brothers don’t have to be blood relations.
They are just incredible friends you met later in life – at college, in your workplace, or through a hobby you enjoy – who have always been there for me.
What defines a brother like this is that they are reliable and trustworthy in all circumstances.
WM R. Thompson (king solomon 25)
