He was employed with Peat, Marwick & Mitchell as an accountant for five years, eventually retiring from Marion Laboratories at the age of 44.

He is also survived by his grandchildren; Zebulon, Nicholas, Keelon, Alexandria, Madigan, and Ryan, Cullen, Austen. He is also survived by his brother-in-law Bill (Penai) Bricker and many cousins and family. He was preceded in death by his parents, and his daughter, Kristine Ann Bowles in January 2008.
He will be greatly missed by his family, friends, and the clients he served with dedication and a willing heart.
