It is with the utmost sadness that we report that Lew English, Sr,
co-founder of Bowser Manufacturing Company passed away
on Feb  3, 2012.

He was 93 years old. Lew is survived by his wife Shirlee, four children ,
Susan,  Nancy, Lew Jr., and Lee, ten grandchildren, fourteen great great
grand children and 3 great great great grandchildren. Lew was the
inspiration for what is now the Bowser Manufacturing Company of
Montoursville, PA. He was one of the pioneers in the model train business
and  was  entered into the Model Railroading Hall of Fame just a few years
ago. In 1961, Lew and Shirlee began the business in their basement in their
home in Muncy, Pennsylvania, when they purchased not only the name but
several steam engine  kits from Bill Bowser in Redlands, California. Lew
will not only be missed by his family but by all of the  industry contacts
that he made throughout his career. Bowser Manufacturing will continue
under  the direction of Lee K. English, current Bowser CEO.
