Tom Fowler was a true friend to me, and my father and my brother in the late 80s when I was building his home and other homes for him in Alpharetta Georgia... He taught me a great deal about people, and how to treat people right... I was in my early 30s then and I am 66 now, and I still think about him daily... His influence on me was large... Rest in peace, Tom Fowler... the world is a better place for having you in it...

My sympathy to the family. Knew Tom through business with Cunningham and ArtCraft so many years ago. Fond memories, many laughs. Tom lived a full life surrounded by much love.
