Abstract
Rufus Edward Bowen (called Rufus by his friends, because of his striking red hair and beard) died suddenly, of a cerebral hemorrhage, on July 30, 1978. He was not yet thirty-two years of age. During that short lifetime he had already become a mathematician of international stature, and his death shocked the mathematical world.
