My condolences and those of my sister, Joan Bowser, to the family. He was a very kind, positive and cheerful person. I was in the Bahai community with him and one year ahead of him at DY high school. As I recently lost my mother, I feel for the family so much. It is difficult to let our loved ones move on to the next plane without great sorrow for our loss of their presence here. Allah-u-Abha...God is the most great.
