I am so sorry to hear of Mr. Bowman's passing. I met him through the Dialysis Center in Rocky Mount, Va. He was the nicest, most sincere person. He was always worried about my daughter, Emily, 27 years old, who was a dialysis patient as well. He always had a kind word for her. She passed away in September, 2010, knowing that she had am true friend in Mr. Bowman. Now they are sharing stories in heaven, no doubt!

Jack was a great friend I got to know while I was with the Equitable. I knew Jack to always be looking out for his associates. He was a great Manager & he & Kathy were hosts for many great Equitable get-togethers. A very Special Friend!

Jack was a great guy and we had many good times with him and his wife Kathy. He has now joined Kathy and Nancy with some of their friends who Jack and Kathy played golf and tennis with. Wishing the family much sympathy.
