Greenwich School Bus Driver Dies Of Coronavirus

GREENWICH, CT — A Greenwich school bus driver has died from complications of the new coronavirus, the Transport Workers Union Local 100 announced on its website. Bryson Kent Bowman, 59, of Stamford, died April 4 at Stamford Hospital.

Bowman worked for Student Transportation of America (STA) since 2017 “safely transporting children to school and back home” for Greenwich schools, according to a post on the website.

Mary Pryce, a co-worker who is an elected member of the Local 100 Executive Board, said that Bowman “was always a cheerful person.”

“He greeted everyone with that huge smile, and when he got off his bus at the end of a shift heading to the office, he always had love for everyone,” Pryce said in a statement. “He loved talking about sports with his co-workers, and was a true Yankee fan. We are really going to miss him.”

Bowman is survived by his wife, Patricia, and four children – two girls and two boys. Local 100 President Tony Utano said: “We all offer our condolences and prayers for Brother Bowman’s family, his friends and co-workers at STA, and to every member and officer of our School Bus Division.”
