You were the best Daddy a girl could ever have. I appreciate your love, wisdom, and direction. I want to say thank you for always stating the truth, living the truth, and being a guiding light for us all. We all knew "the deal." We all knew what you would think or do because you not only told us, you lived an amazing example for us. Having six girls could not have been easy. We were a handful. But you never gave up on any of us. Your unconditional love is and was an amazing feeling in our world. In all of those years, I never heard a bad word about one of my sisters from you. Wow. Thank you, Dad. What a wonderful example you were and always will be. I love you, Daddy. See you in heaven.

Josh, you left your legacy in a wonderful family of children, grandchildren, and great-granchildren. It has been our pleasure and joy to know several of them a cherished friends. You are remembered with great love. Our heartfelt prayers go out to your family, as they grieve your passing.

You all have my deepest sympathies for the loss of your dear Dad and Grandpa. I remember a few of you from going to the Class of 1957 reunions. He sounded like a wonderful Dad who shared a lot of love to his whole family. My condolences to all of you. Sincerely, Millie Boland 10/7/14

Our deepest sympathies go out to the entire Bowdish Family. Grandpa Bowdish was a wonderful and interesting man, we will miss his smiling eyes and his great stories...he always had a story for you. May The Lord Bless him and keep him to dwell in His house forever. RIP Grandpa Bowdish. Kelly, Steele and Skyler
