Larry left his mark … having known Larry through high school, and then working with him  when a respiratory therapist and on into our reunion committee…. Larry’s dry sense of humor….humming songs requested of him….always a smile to greet you.  Dance band rehearsals, musical rehearsals pioneered by the great Dorothy Schock.  These are the memories of Larry I hold dear.  We worked together on the McCaskey Class of ’62 reunion committee and Larry was always energetic about finding ways to keep classmates in touch.  My heartfelt condolences to his family, of which he was so proud. We’ll miss you, good friend!

I haven’t seen Larry for over 50 years, but I have good memories from our friendship as young musicians in high school.  We were in band and orchestra together, but our closest connection and enjoyable experiences came from our local combo gigs with Steve, Tom, and Claudia.  I don’t think I ever saw him angry or frowning.  I recall a practice session at his house when Larry had his arm in a sling (a hurdles injury, I think), but he still had a smile on his face as he played piano one-handed.  Even when we were riding to a job in freezing weather, my drums in the back seat of his car, and cold air streaming in because of  the broken window vent, he maintained his sense of humor.  I send my sincere condolences to his family and friends.

I am so sorry that you have lost your father.  He always had a smile and a joke to tell, and he was such an artist at the piano; we loved listening to him play.  Always remember the good times.

I am very saddened to hear of Larry’s passing. After he retired he came to work at RRTA parttime and I was his manager. Beyond that, I considered Larry my dear friend. Sending loving prayers for Larry and his family.

To all of Larry’s kids,
I’m sorry to hear of your recent loss.  My own family, (including my son Neal Bowers),  knew yours for many years when we all attended Grace EC Church in Lancaster City.  I was friends with your mother, and dad, and also close with your dad’s second wife, Tellie, recently departed due to covid, who was a most beloved lifelong friend.  My sympathies for the loss of your talented father.  May you seek the Savior for the comfort only He can provide when we turn our lives over to Christ.

Prayers for the Bowman family.  I knew Larry from Lancaster Grace Church when my father pastored there. He played for the girls ensemble and I directed the children’s choir. I am sad to hear this.

I always liked my cousin Larry; good-natured and very funny with the jokes and puns!  He was so gifted as a musician and I always wanted to play a fraction of what he could do. He also was generous in sharing his knowledge of the Bowman family , and worked extensively with cousin Linda on a thorough and interesting geneology book. I will miss his musical skiils and sense of humor.        cuz, Donna

I’ve known Larry since 1962. He was the Best Man at my wedding. I am the “Dave Stevens” of the Dave Stevens Trio. Larry was a terrific musician and we spent many hours practicing and playing together professionally. Over the years our lives took much different paths and we haven’t seen much of each other. A few years ago we got together. He played keyboard and I picked up my sax. It was like old times. Blessings to Larry’s family. Rest in peace my good friend.

My condolences to your family. I was the secretary in the Respiratory Department at Ephrata. I remember him fondly. He was always filled with joy. May your memories sustain you through your grief.

we were very sorry to hear of Larry’s passing…It’s been many years since I’ve had contact with Larry but I did want to pass on to his family our condolences . We grew up around the corner from the Bowmans and our families were very good friends.The childhood memories we have are too numerous to mention…I do remember Larry at that piano…SO talented for such a young kid…we sometimes vacationed together and spent countless hours playing on the fields at Burrows elementary, and Brookside pool! The last time we spoke was a few years ago when my mother passed away, he called and talked to both my husband and I…he was such a kind person! A good guy!! Blessings to his family!
