His son, Kurt Sowa, spoke through tears about his father’s murder, saying:
“Our dad was the most kind, generous, hardworking man there was. He was selfless, and he would give the shirt off his back for you. He didn’t deserve this.”
Fred Harran, the director of Bensalem Township Police Department, commented about the bizarre nature of the case, saying:
“This was a guy, a local guy, that was well known in our community, a local chiropractor, a nice guy and had a horrific death.”
Sowa lived in the house with his wife, Barbara, who said she went to work that morning, never to see her husband again, adding:
“He was just a good man. To know him was to love him. I can’t say enough. Just was a good family man, and for this to happen to him. I’m just like there’s so much evil in the world because that was evil taking out good.
Who could do that to him, he was the nicest person ever. He would have helped anybody, his patients, he would run to anyone’s house and help them with anything they needed.”
