I am so sad to hear about Lee's passing. I loved seeing his smiling face and listening to his family stories when he was getting treatment at the cancer center. He will always have a special place in my heart. Thoughts and prayers to the family.

Kathy and Family - Extremely sorry to hear of Lee's passing. I had  the opportunity to meet Lee for Lunch in last year prior to the GDLS golf outing. I golfed with him when he could still play. I will miss him. He was a true friend.

Lee was such a great person and co-worker, I had the honor to know and work with Lee for a time before he retired at GDLS.  It breaks the heart to know that Lee has passed.  Just recently I was thinking of Lee too, of right before he retired when we had gone out after work and he shared some of his great stories; and he also shared stories of his family/ children/grandchildren, every word was with such high regard.  I was honored to know such a great person.  To hear he has passed saddens, I pray God brings peace and comfort to his family.

I'm sorry to hear of Lee's passing. He was one of the first people I worked with at General Dynamics.  Lee was always eager to help and a kind, genuine person. I enjoyed hearing his stories of all of his family and his love of travelling. My condolences to his family.

Kathy and Family - Sorry to hear of Lee's passing.  Our thoughts and prayers are with you.  Cousin Brad

I worked with Lee for most of his carrer, we had a lot of fun working togather at GD. I will miss all the golf talk. He sure enjoyed the game.

May the God of all comfort fortify and sustain the Bowden family as you endure the loss of your life one. (Psalms 55:22) My sincere condolences to your family.

I worked quite a lot with Lee before he retired at GDLS and we would even meet up for lunch to catch up on occasion. I loved hearing his stories of his experiences and his family. He was so proud of them! I was so sorry to hear of his passing :o(

I'm sorry to hear of Lee's passing he was good friend and colleague at GDLS for years. Always supportive and helpful...he will be missed. Our condolences

It was my pleasure to know Lee. Regardless of the issue he had a reasonable, calm solution. Lee always had something good to say about everyone. He loved his camper and golf. Above all Lee loved his family! We talked often about the joys his family brought to him. I will miss Lee.

I am very saddened to hear of the passing of Lee, I pray for the family. It was an honor to work with Lee at GDLS EFV

Dear Kathy, So sorry to hear of your loss. I didn't know your husband,but I'm sure he was a good husband and father. My sympathy to you and your family. God Bless    Dorothy Nelson / Warren Comm. Chorus.

I am blessed to have shared the past few years  getting to know Lee better.  Always gracious, humble, and reluctant to complain.  Lee had a quick wit and kind words at hand.  He leaves a tremendous legacy thru his kids and grandchildren!  The world is a better place for having had Lee on it... Heaven is gaining a great angel.

So sorry to hear of Lee's passing.  I interfaced with him often while he was at GDLS.  Hopefully he enjoyed some of his retirement.  His family, friends, and associates should reflect and remember his smile and good nature.

GOD has taken a fine man. He was a Loving Husband ,Father and Grandfather. He will be missed by many. I have always considered him a very close friend, I will miss him dearly and always will remember him in my daily life. GOD SPEED MY FRIEND!

So sorry to hear about Lee.  I worked with him in Lima in the early years of Chrysler.  I just lost my husband in January so I know how hard this will be for you, Kathleen. Even though we never met, I will remember you in my prayers and hope that God's strength will help you through the days ahead. Sharon (Burtchin) Wehinger

Very sorry to hear about Lee.  He worked very hard at GDLS and helped us as best he could here in Westminster, MD when we needed a lot of help.  He was a character and always knew the answer to every question we had. To his family I send sympathies for your loss and know that you will have many wonderful memories of this very dear man.

Sad to hear about Lee. I always enjoyed talking to him at the family gatherings. Thinking of you, Kathy, & your family. Can't be there, but you are in my thoughts.

So sorry to hear lee passed. Always a pleasure to talk with him at family functions. Can't be there Friday but will be in spirit. Love cousins John and Karhey Graham
