Robert Bowen

December 23, 1923 to May 20, 2012

Psalm 73:26 ”My flesh and heart shall fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever”.

Bob was a humble man who loved his Lord and Savior.

He loved rehabbing buildings, the many family cruises, vacationing in Florida and watching the rebirth of the Trinity church building. And….Oh those Cardinals!

He proudly served in the U.S. Navy during World War II.

He was a loving husband for 66 years to Wanda, and gave unconditional love and support to his children, Brenda and Dave Creech, Becca and Joe Walker, Beverly Bowen and Brad Bowen, all of whom followed his example and love the Lord.

He was so proud of his grandchildren, Lisa and Tobin, Jonathan and Jennifer, Emmalea and Maurice and Bonni Rae.

His great grandchildren, Tre, Emma, Breanna, McKinley and Maxon were a blessing to him.

His sisters and brothers Jeannette, Lee, Donna, Barbara, Britton, Ralph and Don and a swarm of nieces and nephews will be surrounding the family to celebrate his life.

He was preceded in death by his infant son Ernie, his parents Martha and Albert, his sisters Bea, Bonnie, Jewel and Idalee, and his brothers Gordon, Basil and Dallas.

Visitation at Hoffmeister Colonial Mortuary, 6464 Chippewa, St. Louis, Missouri 63109 will be on Thursday, May 24th, 4:00 to 8:00 pm.

Coffee and donuts from Bob’s favorite hangout will be served at 9:30 am on Friday, May 25th in the Gathering Room at Trinity Church, 1110 South Glenwood Lane, Kirkwood, Missouri 63122 followed by services at 10:30 am in the Sanctuary.
