from The Bismarck Tribune for Sep. 27, 2002:
Henry D. Bowen, Cary, N.C., professor emeritus at the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences of North Carolina State University, died Sept. 27, 2002, at a Raleigh, N.C., convalescent center. A memorial service will be held at 3 p.m. EDT Sunday at Holy Trinity Lutheran Church, Raleigh, N.C.
The family will receive friends from 7 to 8:30 p.m. EDT today at The Carolina Room at Woodland Terrace, 300 Kildaire Woods Drive, Cary, N.C.
Born Oct. 16, 1921, in Bear Lake, Michigan, Dr. Bowen was the oldest son and one of six children of Robert and Florence Bowen of Adrian, Michogan. He was a decorated veteran of the China-Burma-India theater during World War II, and graduated from Michigan State University in 1949, receiving his doctorate in agricultural engineering in 1953.
He moved to Raleigh, N.C., in 1953, where he joined the staff of North Carolina State University as an assistant professor of agricultural engineering. He later became a full professor and oversaw dozens of graduate students over a period of 38 years.
He was a member of Tau Beta Pi, Phi Kappa Phi, Society of the Sigma Xi, Farmhouse Fraternity, American Society of Agricultural Engineers and West Raleigh Rotary Club. He attended Holy Trinity Lutheran Church, where he had served as a council member.
Dr. Bowen received numerous awards for his research and teaching accomplishments, among them the John Deere Medal awarded by the American Society of Agricultural Engineers. In particular, he advanced the research of electrostatically assisted application of agricultural pesticides.
According to a former graduate student, Dr. Bowen's "knowledge, vision and excellence in graduate engineering education and rational problem-solving skills prepared a cadre of academic researchers which subsequently brought to fruition his concepts and dreams for electrostatically assisted application of agricultural pesticides. A half century ago this giant set the standard and the direction for this technical realm; with persistence and dedication we have merely followed the R&D pathway he illuminated."
He is survived by his wife of 54 years, Jean; his son, Dr. John Bowen, daughter-in-law, Dr. Nancy Morgan, and their children, Scott Bowen and Jenna Bowen, all of Lenoir, N.C.; and his daughter, Becky Stockman, and her children, Lindsey Stockman and Samantha Stockman, all of Bismarck.
