I found thru ancestry.com that Mr. Bowen lived in Jacksonville, FL thru 1993 at an address on N. Washington St. It had been the same telephone number since 1935, so perhaps this was his parent's home, they died, and he moved.
He shows up in 1994 on TY ST Ro in Atlanta, GA 30315. Then shows adresses on Adele St. and Troy St SE in Atlanta.
Perhaps one of the neighbors of the Jacksonville address might remember the family?
His middle initial may be E. Which may or may not stand for Emory.
If you need more specific information, please let me know. I hesitate to put full addresses or other more identifying info on the message boards
Hope it helps. sb
