Jim was one of the finest persons anyone would want to work with or be associated with. Not only did I enjoy our relationship as fellow co-workers, but also with our love of Mexican cuisine and good music. He would do anything for just about anyone and my acquaintance with both Jim and his wife Peg is one that allowed me to pursue a career that would not have been the same without him. Speaking for myself as well as my wife Pam, we will miss Jim but will never forget the good times we shared over a span of over 40 years. Doug and Pam Roach
Dearest Peggy, we were so saddened to hear of Jim’s passing. He was an immense personality and an incredible neighbor for over 30 years to my parents, Lotte and Hermann. We (and the surrounding Shadowridge wildlife) will miss him dearly. Our deepest condolences, Lotte, Christina, Andreas and grandchildren
With deepest sympathy for your loss , and with fondest remembrance of the most wonderful neighbor- may the grove of trees grow in his memory!
To Peg and family, we offer our deepest condolences. We will always remember Jim as our kind neighbor with a contagious smile and generous spirit.

When I think of Jim Bowman, the first thing that comes to my mind is kindness. He was a kind Gentlemen and an expert on his field. It was a pleasure to work with him on the complex plaster jobs that we had around town. My Mom, Rose, and Aunt Vera send our deepest condolences to Peggy. I will miss Jim a lot…, but Peggy, I would love to continue to meet with you for brunches with Champagne. We love you both.
“James Bowman” will remain in our hearts forever.
