Brian Was my friend for nearly 55 years, I am truly sad about this. Brian was a very loyal friend and like a brother to me. We rode motorcycles together, saw Star Wars for the first time, built many remodeling projects In Evanston and beyond , restaraunts too. fished in Canada, lived together, went to the races in Wisconsin and so much more. Brian was honest dependable and a master carpenter. His work will live on …. The world was a better place with Brian Bowes in it. He will be dearly missed by all who knew him . Get some rest Brian, you earned it.
