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.

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.
