Thank you for what have done
I'm so sorry to hear about the passing of Mr. Bowden. He was such a kind and gentle man. Whenever I needed help with my vehicle, he was always there to help me. He never took advantage of his customers, and wouldn't even allow me to tip him. There aren't too many nice, humble, kind, and honest men left in the business he was in; but I'm glad I had the chance to meet him. He will truly be missed. My deepest and heartfelt condolences goes out to Mr. Bowden's family and friends.
Rest in peace. Mike was an awesome man!!
