As I was checking the website as I do every so often, I saw the notice & the name at the top of the page........Mark Fowler. I was stunned & saddened. Mark & I were friends since we were back in early grade school. We lived a block from each other & hung around quite a bit.......listening to music, playing cards, etc. We shared our first job together......at Branded Steakhouse washing dishes.
We stayed friends for a long time..we were in each others wedding party. Through the years, as happens to most people, you slowly drift apart. We stayed in contact as much as we could. I know Mark worked at Eagle Food store in Round Lake & also lived there for many years. A couple of years ago I ran into his dad & sister. They told me he had moved to Phoenix & they gave me his phone # & email address. I called Mark & talked to him for quite a while, like we had never been away. We used to bowl together & Mark was a very good bowler. He told me that he had finally done it...he bowled a perfect 300 game! We told each other we would keep in touch, but it didn't happen. I was in Glendale, AZ in January but we just didn't hook up.
This website has allowed us to re-connect with each other & I have tried to do that with several people and have been successful. I suggest you all do the same because you may never have that chance again & the next time you check the website you might see something you weren't looking for.
Rest in peace my friend
