Bob, as he was known to most, is survived by his loving wife, Michelle Olivieri Bowman of Albuquerque, formerly of Ashland MA.

Born in 1954 in Ohio to Robert W. Bowman and Kathryn (Karr) Bowman, Bob grew up in Georgia and Indiana and then joined the Airforce where he served for 7 years as administration support and on Security Forces.
He lived in numerous states until meeting Michelle and moving to Massachusetts. Bob and Michelle soon moved to Albuquerque NM, where they have lived for the past 20 years. There, Bob enjoyed the perfect weather to play his lifetime loved sport of golf. He worked and played at the Albuquerque Los Altos Golf Course where he joined and played with the Men's Golf Association, making friends and Birdies. Bob befriended many dogs from the Albuquerque Eastside Shelter as they were walked through the golf course. After losing their long-time pet, Buddy, he suggested checking out the shelter where he quickly bonded with his new best girl, Bella Rue. Bob shared his love for watching all sports with his favorite girls, Michelle and Bella Rue.
