James Bowling, a devoted Mason
James Earl Bowling was a good father who loved his job as splicing supervisor with Cincinnati Bell, where he retired in 1981 after 30 years.
"I think he enjoyed that (serving as a telephone pole splicer) more than being the supervisor, " said his daughter, Debbie Pfalz of Taylor Mill.
"I think he felt appreciative of the job because, not that it's a bad place to work now, but back in those days it was a good opportunity."

He was a U.S. Navy Korean and World War II veteran, and a member of the Latonia Baptist Church, the Bradford Lodge #123 in Independence and a member of the Scottish Rite.
Pfalz said her dad was an outgoing man who was very devoted to his Masonic Lodge and proud of his stint in the military.
He also loved to hunt and was very close with his granddaughter, Ashley Gunn, 23, of Colorado.
She said her most fond memories of her dad are the family vacations she and her two brothers spent each summer as children with their parents traveling to different state parks in Kentucky.
