I met Mr Bowen later in his life while working with his son Donnie. He was such a good hearted man and had the best hair still . He loved talking about everything on the farm and making his rounds in the golf cart to feed the chickens and fish and kept Donnie out of trouble . I enjoyed seeing him whenever I went to the farm .

Page was a great man and will truly be missed. He was my first Supervisor when I started at WSSC, and his fathering personality helped me in more ways than he will ever know. For example, he wrote me up for something I deserved, and I became a better worker and manager for it. I had the pleasure of getting to know his family and work with both his sons over the years. Both Page and Barbara should be very proud of the strong work ethic both of them continue to apply to this day in everything they do.
Page and his family will always have a special place in my heart and he will truly be missed. May he rest in peace.
