Mr. Bowman was a true friend to all that knew him.
He was a soft spoken gentleman with few words.
He was a farmer and specialized in growing watermellons.
I, as a young man I would haul his mellons to market and he would always have a abundant crop and they were decilious.
I grew up knowing this fine man and played with his kids and finally his son Garnett married my only sister Virginia Ann.
He was the father of 12 children and they all grew up to be sucessful.
No man could have left a more lasting legacy.
I hear his family continually praising him as time goes on.
Rest in peace Mr. Bowman, you deserve it.
