It was my privilege to meet and know Charley Bowman...my good friends Wilson Ford and Winfield Mitchell and Mr. Bowman were the 'go to guys' when it came to fishing, crabbing and birding. All three of these men were great influences on my life. Sincere condolences to family and friends.

The Bowman Family, When I started caring for your mom and dad last year, I didn't realize the impact it would have on my life. The very first day your mom and dad welcomed me in and treated me like they knew me forever and instantly I felt like part of the Bowman family. I learned so much from both of them.I will never forget them. Thank you for choosing me to care for them, It gave me wonderful memories of them both. Love, Tina

In fond rememberance of the man I've known and respected as "Pop-Pop" Charles Bowman, Captian of the "S.S Mary Sue 14994". The memories include Christams day breakfasts, the boat motor alarm so I knew to get up so we could go crabbing on the Bush River every Wednesday, stories of the U.S.S. Charles Lawernce, WW-2 and history of many areas in Harford County, refreshments after plowing snow and my favorite...low flying geese above the roof top! Thanks for treating me like family for the last 20 years Charles,Mary-Sue and the entire Bowman Family. Sincerly, Kevin Harlinski.

Mr. Bowman was the kind of nice people that made Churchville a great place to be raised and live in, a nicer fellow no one could find. I will miss him coming into our store and miss his wife telling him to stop talking and get into the car. We had many good coversations. God Bless the Bowman family.
