Obituary for Harry (Ed) Edward Bowman Jr.

Ed Bowman, a native of Greensboro NC, passed away unexpectedly from a heart attack at the age of 70, on August 16, 2021. He was the son of Harry Edward Bowman Sr. and Lydia Bowman. 

The majority of his working career was dedicated to Southern Rubber Company Inc. Over his more than 48 years of service, Ed helped the company diversify and grow. In 1995, Ed and his best friend, and business partner, David Delman, bought Southern Rubber Company. Ed prided himself in being an honorable gentleman in all aspects of his business relationships. Over the years, the employees at Southern Rubber Company became his extended family. 

Outside of work, Ed was passionate about sailing, maintaining his yard, grilling for family dinners, being active at Buffalo Presbyterian Church and spending time at the coast. Ed was especially devoted to his wife Carol and the two of them made every effort to spend as much time together as possible. 

Ed was preceded in death by his father, Harry Edward Bowman Sr. He is survived by his mother Lydia, his loving wife Carol; four children, Amy, Kate, Stephen and his wife Julie, Liz and her husband Rhys; four grandchildren Grayson, Gavin, Edison, Jude; and his beloved dachshund Grace.
