~~ In Memory ~~
DL Capt Don Fowler
DOD 9/21/2018
I wish to thank Larry Whitesell for sharing the sad news
about Capt Don Fowler’s passing. Please
see below in this notice for details and passing on condolences.
Sorry to pass the news
that Don Fowler passed away on the 21st of September. He has lived in Pattaya
Beach, Thailand since going on long term disability around 1996. Don was a Navy
pilot flying a carrier onboard delivery aircraft during Vietnam years. He
started with Western and moved to Delta on that merger.
His first wife Carmen
was a Flight Attendant on American Flt 191 DC-10 crash at ORD. There were no
survivors.
His current wife, Gae
and his son Ghet, 20, were with him at passing. He was proud to have been sober
for 36 years. He was a member of the VFW Pattaya chapter and contributed to the
Father Ray foundation for orphaned Thai children.
Don was diagnosed with
bone cancer just a few months ago. He also was fighting the early stages of
Alzheimer's. But he was alert and I could talk with him about the old days
flying the Pacific in the L-1011 out of PDX
There will be a
Buddhist ceremony for him in about one week.
When an
obit and/or more information becomes available about Capt Fowler, we will
update this page and notice.
