Carney and I were youthful contemporaries several blocks apart on Pennsylvania Avenue, classmates in school, and I saw him a couple times in later years when I was visiting in York. I always appreciated his friendliness through the years. My condolences to his family.

A good man and true Patriarch of the Bowman family. I will always smile when I think of his trademark "YEAH!" when we would call the house. RIP Carn and God Bless the Bowman family.

I will always remember Carney, he helped raise a wonderful family and I am glad I had a chance to be part of knowing him. Rob, how about that time we took the possum to Smith in the cop car with your dad. he told me never to end up in the back of a car again! Still makes me laugh. He will be missed.

To the best Father in Law a girl could ask for. I don't know who I'll give my leftovers to that will enjoy them as much as you did. I loved the surprise phone calls of how much you enjoyed something and then yelling at me for not labeling the containers. Thanks for the laughs and always being a good listener. Miss you always. Love,
