A long time modelers alliance member, John Bowrey, has been ill with several illnesses over the last two years.
Today, his son, Gary, called me and told me that John was just diagnosed with three cancers, one of them in his lungs and that was terminal. They haven't given the family a length of time but say there is no way to treat it and it is inoperable. John is a fantastic guy, him and his wife Maureen, have been friends of ours for many, many years.
His son, Gary told us that he is getting worse daily and is now in hospice.
As with so many of my modeling friends who have gone, John will be greatly missed. He was from England, served with the R.A.F. and came to America many years ago, met his wife here, also a Brit and they were married back in the 1960s. Here is a very old photograph of them back in the day!
This is John in my museum the last time he visited. John was an incredible figure painter!
John and Maureen will be in our thoughts and prayers!
