To The Bowman Family,
Deacon Bowman's God fearing life is to be celebrated. Not only did I have the pleasure of working with him @ PTO for many years. I also had the joy of fellowshipping with him as well. My late Pastor and friend Rev. Herman Smith often spoke of Deacon Bowman most highly. I also loved to hear him sing one of the "Ole Gospel Hymns. You are in my prayers.

Mrs. Bowman

Deacon Willie Bowman set the standard for the role of a Chairman Deacon. My late Pastor Reverend Herman L. Smith always would say, "Bowman is the best Chairman Deacon in Washington". I count it a blessing to have had the opportunity to serve under his leadership.
