William R. Bowen

Bill was certainly well liked and respected by salary co-workers and members of the UAW. He always had time for listening to others and was willing to help anyone with their issues.

I am sorry we missed this news back in August. Bill was a good friend and great community champion. Our prayers are with Sally and family.

Bill was such a leader with Bay Medical Center and MCLaren Bay Region as a board member. We also worked as volunteers at the Helen M. Nickless Volunteer Clinic which is part of McLaren Bay Region. I valued his knowledge and kindness. Thoughts and prayers to wife Sally and all of your family members.

Bill and I worked together since the early 1990's when we were both Plant Managers at GM. I found instant respect for Bill...his honesty, dedication and humor made him a great colleague and wonderful friend.

Bill and Nancy Rodgers express our sincere condolences to Sally and the entire family. He will be missed by many, many people.

Bill was by far the best " Boss " I ever had. He was someone you could admire and respect. The community will be a lessor place without him and he will be missed by everyone who knew him.

Bill and I had some great conversations over the years at SVSU Board of Fellows meetings and other events. I admire the ways in which he gave ack to the community, and especially SVSU.

So sorry for your families loss. My late father spoke very highly of Bills character. Obviously he was a very accomplished and well respected. On behalf of the Latvala family our thoughts and prayers are with Sally and Family.

I met Bill during our time volunteering at the West Midland Family Center Dow College Opportunity Program. His thoughtful insights helped the program continue to grow and evolve. I am saddened to learn of Bill's passing.
