George H. Bowman Jr.
George Henry Bowman Jr., age 67, of Redgranite, died unexpectedly on Sunday, May 26, 2024, at ThedaCare Medical Center-Berlin.
He was born November 8, 1956, in Chicopee, MA, the son of George Sr. and Helen Bokalitz Bowman. George was an all-around handyman. Everyone needed his help all the time and he would generously always be there to help! He took very good care of his family and friends. George worked on powder coating systems, did electrical work, drywalling, plus built and installed piers in Green Lake, just to name a few. He could do anything. He loved to “tinker” and do mechanical work, and on rare occasions, when he’d get a free moment, he enjoyed fishing. If you knew George, you were “blessed” with his unique humor! He was always telling jokes and would proclaim he was a poet but didn’t even know it.
George is survived by his four sons, George III (Stephene)Bowman, Joseph Bowman, Devin Bowman and Tristan Bowman; three daughters, Rebecca (Cody) Bowman-Williams, Jessica (Sean) Kosen and Autumn Bowman; grandchildren, Ada, Daniel, Nicholas, Jaelynn, Elijah, Everleigh, Korbin, Acheron and a baby girl due in September; two sisters, Bonnie Marie Thurber and Rosemary (Herbert) Phelps; and many nieces, nephews and friends. He was preceded in death by his parents; infant brother, Joseph; and two sisters, Maryann Henderson and Evelyn Edwards.
Visitation will be held on Saturday, June 1, from 9:30 a.m. to 11:00 a.m., at Barbola Funeral Chapel in Berlin. Funeral services will be held at 11:00 a.m. The family appreciates memorial donations.
