Mr. Cowart was a good friend of my father. I remember sitting down with him after I lost my dad. He was willing to sit down with me to help when I was at my lowest in life. I respected Mr. Cowart because he was always up front and honest with me. What i appreciated the most was the time he spent talking with me to tell me stories about my father. Very sad to learn of his passing. He was one of the good guys.

So sorry to hear of the passing of Mr Cowart. He was my closing attorney of buying and selling of my homes and for my son's business; "Carter/Wilkes Construction." Not only was he our closing attorney but a dear friend indeed. I pray that God will wrap his loving arms around his family now and give them comfort in the days ahead. He will be missed!

Mr Cowart has been a part of my family for many years. We were his clients for 20 years. He and his staff treated us like family. We admired him for his knowledge and guidance in business as well as life. We are going to miss a dear friend. He was a fine gentlemen the kind that they just don't make any more. May he rest in peace and enjoy his retirement in Heaven. It is our lost that we won't have the best Attorney to have for our help anymore. Please accept our deepest sympathy.
