RIP my friend. Larry, Thank you so much for showing me Germany, France, etc. What a great time we had. You were an awesome friend. I will miss you, but have wonderful memories of my trip to Germany to visit you. Thanks for the memories! RIP.
Larry was my first cousin, and our mothers shared the same bed at Hahnemann Hospital in Philadelphia before giving birth about a week apart. My brother, Earl (who died June 2nd this year), and I used to visit with Larry and his family at their farm in Shippensburg every summer while growing up. What a joy it was for some city kids to frolic on the farm each summer - jumping on haystacks from the barn loft, going barefoot along dirt roads, learning to ride a bike, and being awakened by the mooing of a cow at the screen door in the morning when we slept on the kitchen floor. I remember bonding with Larry one summer - being that we were so close in age - by giving him my treasured army belt and the book, My War With Baseball by Rogers Hornsby. We didn't see much of each other after reaching adolescence. But I do remember visiting him at Drexel U. in the fall of our freshman year of college. What a blessing to look back on - visiting "Larry, Garry, Donny & Steve" (and later, Shirley) in the idyllic countryside beneath the shadows of the Blue (Ridge) Mountain outside Shippensburg. I wish we had more opportunities to stay in touch throughout our adult years but, alas, the "gentle soul" here remembered will always be sacred to my memory. Jim Hulihan ([email protected])
I very sorry to learn of Larry's passing. I remember the many band trips and concerts of which he was an important part. I give my deep condolences to his family and friends. He will be missed but there will be good memories of knowing Larry. Roger Heller

In high school and junior high, Larry and I spent many hours together in band and on to county band. He had a very sweet, kind disposition - always a smile. Our paths didn't cross as adults; I wish they had. The world was better with Larry in it.
As a high school classmate, I remember that Larry was one of the nice guys who enjoyed playing in the band (trumpet, I think) and smiling at everyone. He always impressed me as having a quiet intelligence. In fact, he wrote in my yearbook, "Remember: a little work will bring you anything you desire." That's pretty wise for a high school senior.
God bless you, Larry.

Larry Bowman has been a long time next door neighbor. A person could not ask for a better neighbor, a better friend, a better man. He lived as an example to us all. The world will indeed be a better place if we can follow his example as a positive, congenial, honest and friendly person.
We will definitly miss him. A guy like that can't be replaced.
Godspeed Larry,
Bruce & Inez Lemmert
Larry was our dear friend and best man at our wedding in 1971. I send condolences to the family (and apologies to Kelsea for calling her the wrong name!) and know that their memories, as well as ours, will be treasured. Rest in peace, Lar.
My husband and I have lived next door to Larry for the past 8 years. He was a fantastic neighbor! We used to chat over the fence and help each other with neighborly things. We always thought fondly of him and will miss him dearly. Our condolences to his family.
