Stan Bowker, 1947-2022

Posted on March 6, 2022 by Richard Bowker

My brother Stan died today in Florida He was larger than life, and a boon companion. Here he is on his birthday a few years ago.

I’ll raise a glass of Jack Daniel’s to him tonight.

While I have your attention, watch Drive My Car. After a very long windup, it turns into a luminous meditation on life, death, and regret. Seems pertinent today.
