I am honored and grateful to have worked with Bob at the Boys and Girls Club (2001-2005) His commitment to the organization and young people, through leadership, guidance and time and resources was a highlight of my career. In all his visits to the Club and any time I saw him, he always had a hearty laugh and beautiful smile that left you feeling better, no matter the circumstances. THANK YOU for all you brought to this old world. Our sincere and heartfelt condolences are extended to Betty, the children and all those who will treasure his memory.

My most memory is growing up with him and his sibilings on Townline Road.
And working with him on the Townline Community Reunion. Very proud of Robert of all his
accomplishments. You are going to MISSED.

Sending my most heartfelt condolences to Monica, Jon, your mother and the entire family. Often times we are judged by the legacy that we leave behind and Mr. Bowman should be very proud on a job well done. I will continue to keep the family in my prayers.

Nobody can cook better than Bob! I remember when Lisa and I got into the BBQ ribs. We were caught red handed with sauce all over our cheeks and a trail of sticky fingerprints. Our faces must have been a sight, as he was smiling when he scolded us, but who could resist his delicious meals. I will always cherish those memories and fun times spent with the family.
Mr. Bowman blessed so many people with his thoughtfulness, kindness and generosity. Praying that you’ll find comfort in your memories of him and in the knowledge that other hearts are breaking, as they miss him too!
With deepest sympathy, Love Portia McKissic-Monderson.
