Paul Fowler Obituary

FOWLER, Paul Lyman Paul died at the age of 88 on July 6, 2015 in Victoria, British Columbia. He was born in Delburne, Alberta on March 21, 1927 to Neva and Reverend Jessie David Fowler. He grew up in central Alberta, son of a Nazarene Pastor and the youngest of five children. Paul married Reta Miriam (nee Austin) of Toronto on September 10, 1948. They settled in Red Deer, Alberta and raised their four children. Paul used his nursing and management skills over the span of his professional career working in Alberta's Social Services and Community Health, advocating for those without a voice, ensuring appropriate care - the same kind of care that he needed these last few weeks. After retiring from 45 years with the Alberta Government, Paul and Reta made their home in Victoria, B.C. Paul was predeceased by his four siblings and his dear grandson, Kieran. Paul is survived by his loving wife, Reta; his children, Leah Fowler, Timothy (Kathy) Fowler, Peter (Jody) Fowler and Neva (Rob) Bruce; grandchildren, Matthew (Celeste) Fowler, Joshua (Cherise) Fowler, Connor Bruce, Jeremy and Caleb Fowler and 2 great-grandchildren, Kyla and Luke Fowler. Through the years, Paul enjoyed gardening, hunting, fishing, skiing and "camping" in their Airstream trailer. He will be remembered as a man of God who is now at peace with His Saviour. Friends are invited to join in a celebration of life on Saturday, July 18, 2015 at 12:00 p.m. at Victoria Church of the Nazarene, 4265 Quadra Street, Victoria, BC. followed by a reception. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to The Alzeimer's Society or the Compassionate Ministry Warehouse. The family would like to thank Dr. Fast, Dr. Leggett, Dr. Brooke and the staff at Cloverpoint Care Home for their care and support. Condolences may be offered to the family at www.mccallbros.com.

Marina and I speak of Paul and Reta many times in a month. We have their photos on our refrigerator in remembrance of them and the lovely times we had with them. Both are sadly missed and never forgotten.

Knowing Paul was a highlight in the life of Angelo, Noel and many others who knew him only in recent years. A true gentleman and one who had much humour and enjoyed life to the fullest. We miss you Paul but know you are in a better place and at complete peace. You displayed all the attributes of a person most admired by all in your acquaintance.

Reta, it was a privilege to know you and Paul. He was the consummate gentleman and his smile and classy style set him apart. I regret I was not able to attend his memorial as I was out of town. Pat Hannah (RBC Broadmead)

Wish I could be there to help celebrate a life well-lived. Uncle Paul was so good to me. I will always treasure the few days I had to spend with the two of you last time I was out west. Memories of singing hymns around the piano. Love you Uncle Paul...see you when we get home.
