Luther Eugene Bowles, 85, of Lynco, WV, went to be with the Lord on Thursday, August 20, 2015 at Riverside Nursing Home, Rich Creek, VA. He was born on September 1, 1929 in Iaeger, WV, a son of the late Mack and Annie Bowles. Eugene Lived in Lillydale most of his life. He served in the United States Marine Corp. and retired from Island Creek Coal Company. Eugene loved to entertain us all with his boyhood adventures that always seemed larger than life. He would tell of times he played music for his mothers' church and each time he would try to quit playing he would hear "play one more", which would end up being three or four more. Later in life he enjoyed making "shoe horns" from broken golf clubs, so if you were a recipient of one of his creations remember Eugene with a smile each time you use it.
