Passed peacefully away on Jan. 18, 2015, William David Fowler (March 17, 1920 - Jan. 18, 2015) of Capstan Island at the age of 94 years, 10 months. Heaven has gained another angel today. He was predeceased by his wife Stella, son Thomas, daughter Elsie, grandson Dean and brothers Joseph, Robert and sister Annie. Leaving with fond and beautiful memories daughter-in-law Bella; sons Joseph (Myra), George (Stella), Walter (Alice) and daughters Sophia (Kevin), Elizabeth (David), Bertha (George), and Janet (Bruce); son-in-law Obediah; sister Bertha; sister-in-law Beulah; 34 grandchildren; 34 great-grandchildren and a large circle of nephews, nieces and friends. Special thanks to the staff of Labrador Straits Long Term Care Facility for their care and kindness over the past five years and to the 2nd floor nursing staff of Curtis Memorial Hospital for their special treatment during his short stay. The way he lived his life is what we and others aspire to: genuine, kind and humble. He lived with a strong sense of purpose and strength of conviction. His engaging personality touched the lives of everyone he met. The love he had for his family impacted the lives of his children from the oldest to the youngest great-grandchild. He started fishing at a very young age and grew up when times were very hard. But he provided very well for his family. Throughout his live he worked hard and enjoyed a good game of cards/dice with equal enthusiasm. In lieu of flowers a donation may be made to a charity of one’s choice.
