Suggested edit: Hello - I submitted a change for this man's middle name. I believe that the obit has the middle name wrong because the father's middle name was "Olaf"...

Comment: This edit may be correct, but I can find no "good" data to either support or deny suggestion. His WWII draft registration reads Roy Olof Bowman, his application for a military headstone reads Roy Olaf Bowman, which entry has been crossed off, his Washington death certificate reads Roy Olif Bowman. Other records have only a middle initial.
Two online family trees list him as Roy Olif Bowman.
