Bob Bowden, Steel Guitar Forum Member & Friend

Post by Jim R. Harrison »

It is with great sadness that I'm posting this notice of the passing of a friend, Bob Bowden. He has struggled for a number of years with various forms of cancer. I first met Bob a number of years ago while I was grocery shopping & wearing a steel guitar T-shirt. From that, & from my avatar on the Forum, he actually called me by name!!

Here is one of the most recent postings by Bob.

Also, I have a link to his obituary from today's (Sat. Aug. 10/'13) Vancouver Sun.

A very sad past few years for Bob. RIP my friend!!! Sincerely, Jim Harrison
