Charles Bowie Obituary

Charles R. "Chuck" BowieSunrise 4/11/53 -Sunset 5/7/23The dash in between is all that matters. The dash represents family and friends who have loved and have been loved. The dash represents camping trips, poker, Harley rides, cookouts, helping others, laughing, crying, being scared, being brave, Doodle, hunting and fishing. My hopes for the reader is to live life by the dash. God only knows when our last day will be, so pet a dog, say "I love you", get outside, give hugs and handshakes, get that tattoo, listen to good music like Tanya Tucker and walk each other home. I'll see you when you get here. Even though I bought flowers for Penny every Valentine's Day, I never cared much for them.
