He was a respected scientist publishing many research papers, and was consulted by scientists from around the world.
David will always be remembered as a faithful husband, devoted father, and cherished grandfather. He could be counted on to bring a positive attitude, joyful spirit, and a good joke to share with everyone he met, caring more for others than himself.

He is survived by his four children: James Bowersox (Karen); Donald Bowersox (Melodie) and their children, Justin (Hannah), Troy, Anthony and Shayne; Michael Bowersox; and Mary Pitcher (Tim) and their children, Alyssa and Ryan. Also Connie Callin who was like a second daughter. He loved being a grandfather and spending time with his six grandchildren.
