Connell Odis "Connie" Gowder

I will miss you my friend, your smiles,our laughs, shagging,, always wearing a plaid shirt and all your help to anyone who needed it.. You always said "Only the good die young" and live each day to the fullest. I remember you playing your cassettes that you had just found..Such fond memories.. You were always a TRUE gentleman. I will forever miss you and keep in close to my heart. Heather, your Dad was one of a kind. Hold on to the memories of him and remember he will always be watching...

He was a great man in every way. He always talked about his children and grandchildren and he lives on in you and your collective memories. He is in the Presence of God for all Eternity and we will see him again. He is with you in Spirit until then. May God comfort you with the Holy Spirit at this time. We are all here for the blink of an eye in the picture of Eternity. His blink was shorter than we wanted and we miss him but he lives on and we will see him again!

We are so sorry for your loss. He will be missed. We've known him for a long time. Our prayers will be with all of the family.

Please accept our deepest sympathy on the passing of your loved one. Your family is in our thoughts and in our prayers. Mayor Minnie Newman-Blackwell and Hanahan City Council: Kevin Cox, Dan Owens, Michael Sally, Joel Hodges, Jeff Chandler, and Mike Dyson.

To a wonderful father and friend.
