Memories and Condolences

To my beloved brother "Al", whom I will never forget. I will always remember how he loved to tease me about my bargains. I loved the conversations we had about his grandchildren, Nicole and Ryan, the loves of his life. He would talk about Nicole and what a great soccer player she was. He loved going to watch her play. He always called Ryan his "Main Man" or he called him "Bubba".
Ollie always will be grateful for the beautiful 1989 Ford truck he gave us, the very first truck Ollie ever owned. We know he bought his new truck just so he could give us the old one.
We will always keep on trucking because of his love and concern for others.
Your Loving Sister and Brother-in-Law,
Dorothy and Ollie Bowen

Daddy:
Even though I don't believe it was time for you to leave us, I know that you are not in any pain with your legs anymore.
I am trying to fill your shoes by taking care of mom and helping her through this difficult time.
Nicole and Ryan miss you deeply, but I tell them that you are up on that cloud watching down on us like you always told them that they were sitting on waiting to come to us.
I miss you more than words can express.
I treasure all of the great times that we shared and all of the time that you spent with my children. They couldn't have asked for a better grandfather than you.
I'll love you always,
Kathy (Kit)

Al,
The void you left behind can never be filled. Together, we will have to manage without your strong presence here on earth, just as you would have expected of us.
Your courage was impressive, dealing with physical pain and never a complaint.
I'm very grateful of the valuable time you spent with my children, Nicki and Ryan. They will never forget you!
Love,
Jack

I got to know Bullwinkle (that is what I called him) working as a guard at Westinghoue. What a great and fun guy he was. My sincerest sympathies to his family.

Dear Dad:
Thank you for all that you have done for us. From being my little league coach to the encouragement that you have given me throughout my life.

Your traditions will be carried on and your memory will be with us forever. Thank you for everything.
Thank you for being DAD

Love your son,

Big Al;
I it is with great sadness that we tell you goodbye for a while and it is with gladness that we celebrate your life. I am so glad I got to know you -- You're The Greatest! We, at work, have a lot of great and fun-time memories from our time with you and we will hold those thoughts close until we meet again.
May God be with you and my dear Vickie. We know you leave behind a very strong and loving family and we will be here for them.
Words are never adequate,
but the memories will sustain us.
