Mr. Raymond Fowler, age 71 was born in Burlington N.C on June 14, 1951, to the late Thomas Fowler and late Susie Mae Fowler. He quietly departed this earthly life on Sunday, July 3, 2022, at his home.
He received his formal education in the Alamance County School System and was a 1971 graduate from Williams High School. Raymond was a proud retiree of Hilbish- Ford where he worked several years in the body shop department.
Raymond never met a stranger and really loved being around family and friends talking, joking, dancing, and sharing fond memories. His laugh was very distinctive and will be greatly missed.
Although Raymond’s health started to decline, he made sure his dogs, Blue and Panther were fed daily. He spent hours outside talking to them. These dogs really were this man’s best friend!
