Richard A. Bowles
1927-2005

ST. GEORGE - Richard A. Bowles was born to George A. and Lila May Duffin
Bowles on June 10, 1927 in Salt Lake City, Utah. A husband to Margene Talbot
Bowles married in the Salt Lake Temple for fifty-nine years.

His life was slowly and tragically stolen away by the insidious ALS (Lou
Gehrig Disease). Three Sons and four Daughters, and their families, valiantly
assisted their Mother during his illness.

There are twenty-one Grandchildren and ten Great Grand Children. His two
Brothers and one Sister survive him.

He faithfully held many positions in the LDS Church. He worked, and was Vice
President of the O.C. Tanner Jewelry Co. for forty-six years.

He always enjoyed helping his friends and neighbors. Grandpa could fix
anything.

Simply put, God made this perfect man. We will miss the sparkle in his eyes.

Thank you, Trudy, Carl and Laura from Southern Utah Hospice.
