Earl grew up on his family's farm in Hanover, PA, where he made fond memories riding his horse - Jake - to plow out the potatoes and learning how to butcher with his father. He wed his wife Nadine R. Bowman (Rinehart) on March 8, 1953. Earl was a skilled craftsman and pridefully built the home in which he and his wife raised their two sons - Steven E. Bowman of Newville and Charles W.

Earl served as a member of the church choir, St. Paul's McSherrystown Church Council, and Men's Group at St. Paul's Hanover.
In addition, Earl and his wife regularly attended classes at the YMCA and walked with the mall walkers at the North Hanover Mall. They enjoyed working in their garden, taking bus trips, hosting family dinners, attending family reunions, spending time outdoors, and sitting together under the maple tree in the back yard.
