EUGENE (GENE) CHARLES FOWLER

1936-2022

Gene was welcomed into heaven on May 5, 2022. He will be greatly missed and his absence deeply felt by the many who knew and loved him.

Gene was born April 4, 1936, to Charles and Loretta (Killingbeck) Fowler in Michigan City, IN. He attended Elston High School in Michigan City and received a BS in Accounting from Indiana University. After graduation he married Arleen Koziatek on September 13, 1958 and began his service in the Army Medical Services Corps and obtained the rank of Captain. After his service, he became a CPA, graduated from the Harvard University Corporate Finance Program, and earned an MBA from Northern Illinois University.

Gene’s accounting career was spread over various industries from manufacturing, agriculture, to the oil & gas industry. He was grateful that he could go to work every day doing something he loved with people he enjoyed working with.

In retirement, he was involved in the St. Michael Catholic Parish, was an avid golfer, and traveled the world with his wife. His most memorable and moving travel experience was receiving a personal blessing from Pope Francis.
