I first met Dr. Rowe and Mrs. Rowe at our restaurant in Westwego, where he had become a regular guest. I recognized him as a man of God, whether from TV, radio, or simply by his demeanor, I do not recall. One day he shared with me that he had previously lost the ability to speak. But there he was, clearly speaking to me. I was sad last year when I heard that he had passed. I had never heard the full testimony on the return of his ability to speak, but I know it had to be miraculous for a man of God who loved to tell the story of Jesus and His great love for us. Rest in Peace Pastor Rowe, Amen.

Pastor Prophet Arthur Bullock. Pastor Herbert Rowe to me was the greatest Faith teacher I´ve ever heard. And let me tell you. I´ve heard all of them with the likes of the great Bishop Ira Hilliard and still Pastor Rowe was the best. In my opinion. God bless pastor Carol.

Dr. Herbert Rowe, Jr. was truly a blessing to so many, leaving a void through his transition yet leaving us with cherishable and meaningful memories. I was afforded the opportunity to see him evolve and fulfill his God-given purpose by answering the calling on his life while here on earth. He was a true and longest friend that I had, from kindergarten to adulthood. He had a unique sense of humor that kept you on your toes. My brother, "Herb" you will truly be missed. My prayers go out to his wife, Dr. Carol Rowe, his son, Caleb Rowe, and his siblings, Dr. Patsy Rowe Brown, Reginald Rowe, and Dr. Carolyn Rowe Treaudo and all other family members, including the Upper Room Bible Church members.
