I always doubted he would leave here of his own volition. I don't know who wrote the obit, but it matches many of the statements about himself:

John L. Bower
February 4, 1948 - November 28, 2025

Mr. John Bower was born February 4, 1948, in Corpus Christi, Texas. His parents were Robert Edward Bower and Dorothy Rayl Bower of Corpus Christi. John attended Roy Miller High School. John was a college graduate and later earned a Master’s Degree in Constitutional Law and a teaching certificate. His career included work as a paralegal and a long tenure as a teacher.

John is survived by his former wife, Jennifer Bower, whom he married in 1983. He also has two children, Juan Quddus Bower and Maria Tahirih Bower. He is mourned by his brother, Henry Edward Bower, his cousins, Linda Griffith and Brenda Fox, as well as other relatives and many friends.

John Bower was a devoted member of the Baha’i Faith. With a desire to improve the lives of others, he pioneered with his family to Honduras for 10 years where he was active in teaching as well as community improvement projects. He then worked as a public school teacher in New Mexico and spent time in South Korea and Taiwan as an educator. He also traveled to the Baha’i World Center in Haifa, Israel three times during his life. John had a special love for children, especially those with special needs. He was a loving husband and father, a dedicated educator, a stalworth Baha’i, and a genuinely kind individual.

Although he had challenges both physical and emotional, he powered through with faith and compassion... His was a life well lived.

It was what it was. It is what it is. It will forevermore s be remembered thus.

Now was the time to point this out, lest we forget.

He was always welcome on my board. We have erected a tribute to him.

Yes, that sounds like him. He made some good interesting posts.

I liked his comments about "Oneness of humanity". Instead of talking about the differences between religions, he talked about the alleged commonalities.

He talked about how his mind works differently from other people, and that was very interesting to me.

He has a knack for drawing in posters.

Some of the threads set records for page length. Was always amazed at his staying power. And had many a chuckle at his retorts to the detractors. RIP.

Many of the statements he made about himself, that should be. (incomplete thought)
