Gary and I started out in the adhesive business about the same time. He was the distributor sales person and I was the factory guy. What I professionally loved about Gary was he always had his sights set on the target. He was a bulldog when it came to getting the order. Personally, you could not find a more stand up person. What you saw, is what you got. He was truly a five star person…
Sorry for your loss,

I had the distinct pleasure of working with Gary over the past 15 years. My job requires me to work with a wide variety of people and I can say without hesitation that Gary Bowman was one of the finest people I've met over my career. He always met me with a smile and had a great attitude and positive energy. He was an absolute joy to spend time with…I always looked forward to my interactions with Gary. My thoughts and prayers are with his family during this difficult time. God bless!
I have known Gary for 8 years. He was the perfect blend of Mentor, friend and coworker (and a dam good golfing buddy). Everywhere you went with Gary, he was the shining beacon of the room. Everyone loved him. He will be sorely missed by all. Simply put, Gary was very special to all that knew him. Our sincerest and deepest condolences to the Bowman Family from the Miller Family.
Love and Miss you. Dale, Dori, Tia and Jocelyn.
My thoughts and prayers are with Barb, Elizabeth, Jeff, and the rest of the Bowman family. I have worked closely with Gary the last 7 years and can truly say I considered him not only a mentor, but a friend. I honestly don't know anyone else that was able to create as many genuine and meaningful relationships within a work environment. Gary was an amazing person and will forever be missed.
Miss you buddy,
The Buckner Family
My thoughts and prayers are with the entire Bowman family. Gary was a fine man with whom I had the pleasure of knowing, working and playing golf. Sincere condolences on his passing.

Gary and I spent many afternoons watching Englewood Pirate's baseball in the heat and cold.
Few people that I know have the intense eye contact that Gary had when he spoke. He was always excited about whatever he was doing.
I only got to play one round of golf with him and he shot even par! We were both excited about that!
Jeff , Elizabeth, and Barb are a testament to his success as a father and husband.
Lynn and I will miss him.
My Condolences to the family of Gary, I was one of the lucky guys that had the opportunity of being a friend and work with Gory over the years, He was a great man! God Bless!!
I have known Gary for the past ten or so years and was fortunate enough to have worked under him at. Our numerous hours of "windshield" time with Gary were constantly filled with conversations of his trips to Hawaii, Golf, and above all his love for his family, especially his wife. When I met my wife we were discussing exemplary relationships among spouses and Gary's relationship was the one that stuck with me the most. I would routinely talk about him and his wife and how I wish to emulate the bond that they shared. As my 14 year old daughter would say, "you guys are goals". We will miss you Gary.
Gary was a very nice person. I always enjoyed seeing his smiling face and talking with him when he was in the office.
Dear Bowman Family,
You are all in my prayers.
Gary always made any moment in time a better place to be. His laugh, smile and overall positive attitude will always be a part of my life.
