I remember shaking the hand of someone titled a General Superintendent, and it was Dr. Eugene L. Stowe.  This was in the 1980s and in Kentucky, where my Dad was a pastor at the time.  I remember bot only his tall stature and large physical presence, but his powerful, powerful preaching!  I remember hearing him preach again when I was a student at MidAmerica Nazarene University in the 1990s.  GOD Bless the memory of Dr. Eugene L. Stowe, and give comfort and peace to his family and loved ones...

Eugene Stowe was our first Pastor when we moved to Nampa Idaho in 1960 as newlyweds.  We lived across the Street from the Church in the basement of a house.  We lived on the same Street your family did just down from the church. Your mother  Faye   became our Sunday School teacher.  It was a  class mostly made up of  couples much older then us.  My husband Larry grew up in a parsonage but not me, so I was the one who was intimidated most having been a  city girl.  What helped me most was the invitation your parents gave us and others of course to come over to your house for Thanksgiving dinner .  The favorite memory we have is the pig  which was served with an apple in its mouth.   You may remember this for you  were  younger than us.  Do not remember much else about that day except the hospitality around the table that day was wonderful.
     Your dad had a fantastic memory!  Never forgot anything and remembered names .  We especially noticed it when at Sunday night services students , younger, older people stood up to testify.  Altar calls were given by your dad both in the morning and evening services.  We did meet up with your parents one or two times.  One time was at District Assembly in Nampa.  We also have a daughter Rhonda who is married to Dave Ackerman.  Your dad came to their church which was near to where the old airport used to be in Denver, Colorado.  It was the first church they pastored and it was one of the weakest churches  in the wrong side of town. Your dad brought old Preacher magazines  over to give to Dave and sat and visited with him for awhile.  It was the only  time he came.  Now David and Rhonda are Nazarene Missionaries to the Philippines serving many places on the Islands between Manila, Baguio, Myanmar,  and now pastoring a church in  Guam at least for 2 years.
 God bless you all.  Larry and Arline Gerdes (Buhl, Idaho) attend church in Twin Falls.


Dr Stowe was both my parents pastor at Nampa College Church and District Superintendant  on the Central California District. He dedicated me as a baby and both Grandma Cantrell and Faye babysat me me in those early days in Nampa. Following his retirement as a General Superintendent I had hime conduct a revival for our church in Sterling, Colorado. The las time I saw Doc Stowe was in the airport at Denver International where he snuck up behind me, stuck his finger in my back and said, "your money or your life." He was coming back from a hunting or fishing trip in Alaska if I remember correctly. Dr. Eugene Stowe was one of a kind and one of God's great leaders in the Church of the Nazarene. Heaven is richer on his arrival.

Please excuse my earlier memory. I was not aware Mrs. Stowe has passed away. They were dear friends of my folks!  I am sure your folks are enjoying heaven with each other!  My love and prayers are with your family!  Hannah Cameron

I will so miss Dr Stowe in Sunday School class when he'd wave at me or I would chat with him about old times & evangelists. Now he is chatting with them & with the love of his life.  I always looked for him & Sis Stowe at church over the last nearly 40 years.  I loved to hear him preach in that deep voice of his. My favorite message I never got over was on The Aroma of Christ.  Yes, I will so miss this giant, beloved man of God.

Mrs. Stowe, I have such precious memories of you and Dr. Stowe!  He and my dad performed our wedding ceremony in 1973. My folks, Dallas and Gervayse Baggett, loved and respected you and Dr. Stowe more than  you know. Daddy considered Dr. Stowe a dear friend. My husband and I have the Bible he signed and gave us as a wedding gift.  Our love and prayers are with you and your family during this time. Lovingly, Bob and Hannah (Baggett) Cameron

Was sad to hear of Dr. Stowe's Homegoing. Wonderful for Dr. Stowe. His first Easter in Heaven. WOW what a celebration. Sad for those he leaves behind. Prayers for Peace and Comfort to the family. Wonderful memories of Dr. Stowe at the Virginia Nazarene Campground in Buckingham, VA as well as at Richmond Southside Church of the Nazarene. I was a teenager and always looked forward to seeing and hearing him speak.
