SteveAJones Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 I am shocked and saddened by the untimely passing of the incomparable Mark Bowman. Mark had become an exceptionally loyal friend to Jimmy Page in the early 1980s. On a personal note, Mark was and forever remains a highly respected friend of mine. The epitome of a Texan; his passing is a loss being felt across the Lone Star State. My sincerest condolences to Mark's wife Charlene, Mark's family and friends.
