Paul "Junior" Franklin Bowser

Junior was born in Thomas, OK on January 25th 1943 to Paul Franklin Bowser Sr. and Margaret Lee Corn. Junior was one of five children, Pauline, Patty Jo, John Mark, and Troy.

Paul (Sr), started taking his son hunting and fishing at an early age. Junior’s fondest childhood memories with his dad and brothers were taking time out and going hunting and fishing. Living on the farm between Leedy and Putnam, OK made this tradition/hobby a lifelong passion for Junior. He spent a lot of time researching and refining his hunting/fishing to make sure he had the right gun, ammo, fishing pole, and bait to have the most successful outdoor trip.

Junior married the love of his life Linda Joyce Dunn on August 6th 1961 in Weatherford, OK.

Junior graduated High School at Weatherford, OK in 1961. In 1963 after marrying Linda and having a son, he took his family to Okmulgee, OK to attend Vocational training in A/C.
