FOWLER, Kenneth After a full vibrant life, on Tuesday, February 14, 2017 Ken passed away suddenly at sea at the young age of 90. Loving husband to Maureen. Beloved Dad to David (Dani), Peter, Doug (Robin), Melissa, Donna (Barb), Dan (Sue), Rose, Christopher (Bonnie) and Stephen (Anna). Grandad to many adoring grandchildren and great grandchildren. Uncle to many nieces, nephews and their children. Brother in law to Tom (Jennifer), Joan and Marian. Ken is predeceased by his brother Ted and his two sisters Rhene and Edie. Ken left behind a large community of friends, business partners and associates across North America who respected his business acumen, enjoyed his unique sense of humour and his creative vision to make things happen. Ken had a big, compassionate heart that lead him to formally create the Fowler Family Foundation to support organizations seeking to meet unmet needs in Niagara, and also privately reached out to many individuals in need. Starting with a grade 10 education, Ken graduated from the "Skool of Hard Knocks" with an Honourary Doctorate from Brock University.
