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, and ten grandchildren, and 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. Bowser Mfg and English's Model Railroad will be closed Feb 8th for the Memorial Service.
