The world is a darker place now you have gone lovely gentle man Fred. I hope you are now dancing with Rose. You will always be missed. Rest in peace.

Fred, the most genuine man I had the pleasure of meeting and knowing. On our visits to see Jenny and John, Fred always had time to spend with us and showed a genuine interest in what we were doing. He was funny, wise, kind fantastic conpany and above all a wonderful man and will be truly missed. May he rest now with his beloved Rose

It is with great sadness that we announce Frederick Bowen passed away peacefully in his sleep at home on the 2nd September 2022 aged 77 years. Fred will be greatly missed by his family and friends and by all those who knew and loved him, and we welcome you to attend his service to share your fond memories. Sleep tight dad we love you so much, but we miss you even more xxx

I am I and you are you, whatever we were to each other that we still are. Speak to me in the easy way which you always used. Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? Life means all that it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was.
