Daniel Bowser Obituary
Dan was born on January 3, 1941, in the Brookville Hospital. He grew up working in his father's store, where his entrepreneurial spirit was strengthened. After graduation from Grove City College in 1962, he worked in industrial sales and insurance. He moved to Durango, CO in 1984 and established his consulting practice. He wrote The Bottom Line column that appeared in the Durango Herald for many years. He opened an Arizona office in 1991. In 2013, he and George Huang of Mill Creek, WA co-founded Business Money Insights as a way to provide online financial information and education to non-financial business owners. In 2010, Dan moved his residence and business to Summerville, PA to be with Martha Smith. Advising and helping business owners was his passion and he continued his consulting until the time of his death.
Dan was active in his communities. He served as president of the Durango Area Chamber Resort Association and was a member of Durango High Noon Rotary. He was an ultra-runner and completed many marathons and ultramarathons. Perhaps his greatest pleasure came from serving as a founding member of The Summerville Story Project. The initial Story Project was writing and publishing a book of stories about Summerville titled Troy/Summerville Pennsylvania. The group then collaborated with the Jefferson County History Center to install story panels throughout Summerville that serve as a walking/biking trail of historic Summerville.
Dan is survived by his son Rob (Stacey) of Queen Creek, AZ, his grandson Jake (Danielle) of Queen Creek, AZ, his sister Sally (Homer) Reitz of York, PA, a niece Kelly (Dave) Miller and nephew Jonathan of York, PA, and his dear friend and companion Martha Smith, her son Matthew Smith, and grandsons Matthew and Eric Smith.
He was predeceased by his father Dan Sr., his stepmother Alma, and his mother Jean.
