Reflections for Supervisor Eric Bowling
Uncle Eric,
You are now reunited with your brothers. My Dad Burl was so proud of you. You have a lot of nieces and nephews that have followed in your footsteps. Myself included. My son is a officer and I pray for him everyday! Keep a good watch out for him.
You're thought if and misses.

Eric,
On today, the 40th anniversary of your death I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice-not just as a Law Enforcement Officer but for our Country as well when you served with the U.S. Navy during World War II. And to your Family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

As a member of the Elliott County Historical Society, I will be including Mr. Bowling in not only our digital records for the military veterans of Elliott Co, KY but also a planned book honoring their service. I also worked in KY Corrections so I am aware of the absolute sacrifice Mr. Bowling made. The story of his death is deeply sad. I respect his service in the justice system and honor the life he gave to serve the state of Ohio. I pray for his family and friends.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 28th anniversary of your death. Your memory lives and you continue to inspire. Thank you for your service. . My cherished son Larry Lasater was a fellow police officer murdered in the line of duty on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer.
Time never diminishes respect and your memory will always be honored and revered. I pray for solace for all those who love and remember you for I know both the pain and pride are forever. Your family is in my heart's embrace today.
Rest In Peace
