I had the privilege of being Ray Fowler’s next door neighbor. The Fowlers are such sweet family. They watched my brother Jon and I grow up. He had such a kind smile and sweetness about him. Thank you Mr. Fowler for watching out for my family on Heatherly Drive over the years.
The Israel Family

My thoughts are with all of you. Even though I didn’t know Mr. Fowler I know Sharon and I know he and his wife raised a wonderful daughter.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time Ray was a special friend
Ray was a beautiful Christian man. Royce still has the walking cane that Ray made for him with both their names on it – special keepsake. May the Lord give you His grace and peace to face your loss. What a reunion we have to look forward to in heaven.
Our Love in Jesus,
