Today marks the 50th anniversary of the line-of-duty death of Chief John Bowker. This week the Woodmere Fire Department celebrated his life and legacy with the Bowker and Redash families. Our thoughts and prayers are with them. Rest in Peace, Chief Bowker.
My Grandfather was Millard Carpenter (Mel) . I believe he worked with him in the department around that time. I remember hearing the name.
Rest in Peace Chief 🙏
