GREAT MAN
It was a privilege to work with Ed for many years, always honest, straightforward and VERY smart.
My wife Bev also worked with him and if she had a question he always took the time to help.
He was a great guy to have a drink and fun with.
He will be missed by all, but never forgotten.

Remembered with respect and fond memories
As many will say, “Our lives were enriched, and our minds enlightened from spending time with Ed Bowman”.
The Dunn’s will miss him, Margie sends her love and wishes to be with the family but is not able to make the trip. Sam is probably already showing Ed around and talking about farms, golf and those silly kids – there were many good ” you wouldn’t believe ” story.tellng competitions about the young ones in times past.
We will miss him – and our thoughts are with all in the mighty Bowman family.
Grieving the Loss of a Fine Man
To the family of Ed Bowmann – I had the privilege of working with Ed for a number of years when he was with the Thomas E. Wood group that represented the Sisters of Mercy. I learned a great deal from him – more than from any college classroom. He was always kind and patient and such a gentleman. He was highly respected by the entire organization. I was fortunate to get to know Ed on a personal level following our retirements and got to see his beloved farm once. He spoke with such love and devotion about his family. I am so sorry for your loss and hope you can find comfort in knowing how much Ed meant to me and so many others.
Our deepest condolences
Nate and Marcella,
Our deepest condolences to you and your family on the loss of your Grandfather. Sorry for your loss.
Jeff, Sam, Abby, Mack and SJ Lowd
Prayers for Ed’s Family
The prayers and love of the entire Dunn Family are with you as you grieve the passing of such a wonderful man. Mom (Marjorie Dunn) will be very sad to hear of his passing. We pray for your peace and understanding through this time. Ed’s spirit, his wisdom, love, kindness and humor will live on in each of you. Mary Ann will be happy to have him join her. May God welcome him into
His Kingdom and say, “Well done, Ed. Take your rest in me.”
Ed will be missed.
I am so sorry to learn of Ed’s death. He will be missed greatly. He was a kind host and always included me in family celebrations.
Ed’s answer to “How are you?” was always “My condition is good for the condition I’m in.”
it always makes me smile and I borrow this answer often, giving credit to Ed.
love to all of you!
