We first met Mickey when we moved to Durham in 1982. We found Fowlers Market and enjoyed shopping there. Shopping at Fowler's was always a pleasure. We enjoyed it until it burnt down.
Several years later, in the late '80's, I was practicing psychotherapy in downtown Middletown. I was very uncomfortable with the clients walking out onto Main St. in the dark and started looking around for a better place. My wife had seen the add for Executive Offices and we went to take a look.

My deepest sympathies to all of Mickey's family and friends. If Middlefield had a Hall Of Fame for it's most distinguished citizens, Mickey would certainly be a most formidable recipient.

Dear Fowler Family,
How sorry we were to hear of Micky’s death. We have such fond memories of him and Lee at Cedar Island and on the hill. We fondly referred to Mickey as “ an Original Yankee”. He knew everything, knew how to do everything, how to get it all done. He laughed and waved when he passed in the car with all of his beloved dogs. Stopped to chat in restaurants.
He was a great guy and we really loved him.

Dear sweet Mickey - met him many years ago when my husband rented an office in his office space and Bob became very good friends with Mickey. He loved to take his sailboat out but did not want to sail it rather he wanted someone else to while he whittled on projects on the boat and most of the time made the food. I will always remember the trips Bob and I took with Mickey. He was a wonderful man. When Bob died 10 years ago Mickey took some of his ashes and scattered them where we used to...

Dwight, Bruce, Steve, Sue, and Sandy, I am one of the lucky many people who got to experience Mickey’s great sense of humor, tell it like it is demeanor, can do spirit, and positive encouragement. While Mickey will surely be missed, all those qualities go on through each of you. What a legacy. May God bless you and the extended Fowler family.

I'm deeply saddened to hear about Mickey's death. He was an enormous influence on my life, and on the lives of so many people he touched over the years. His brilliant mind raised us up, and the lessons he taught will stay with the people who worked for him well beyond his lifetime. Sleep well, boss. You won't be forgotten.

Our sincere condolences to the Fowler family.
Dan enjoyed Mickey's personality as he helped maintain the office complex. He sure made life interesting.
