So sorry to hear of Sam’s passing! What a great guy! Prayers sent to the family . REST IN PEACE. SAM!
Cheryl, sorry to hear of your Dad’s passing, you are in my prayers.
Many heavy heats from the passing of Sam. To the family and friends I am sorry for the loss, may you feel comfort in remembering and sharing the good times you had with your loved one or friend.
I remember when Sam and Mom Bowman would park their RV at Bob and Cheryl’s and Sam made sure their acres were in tip top shape by always riding the mower when it needed to be cut.
Spending time at cook outs with him was a lot of fun filled with great stories, good food and so much laughter. I laugh when I remember what Sam referred to the pesky gnats were called. If you know Sam you know!
Dad Bowman you will be missed, and Thank you for for all the good times everyone celebrated with you.
Cheryl, so sorry for the loss of your father. Prayers to you and your family.
Cheryl, I’m very sad for the loss of your precious Father on this earth. May God hold you tightly as you grieve the loss of him. I know that it is hard when one loses their parents as it feels as if being orphaned as an adult. You and your family are in my prayers as you grieve. With deepest empathy for your loss!
