DOWLER, Alvin F.
of Wisconsin
formerly of Kalamazoo Alvin F. Dowler, 83, passed peacefully in his sleep at home and went to be with our Lord on Sunday, May 29, 2011. Al was born in Blanchester, Ohio on November 14, 1927 to Porter and Katheryne King Dowler. He moved to Kalamazoo, MI at a young age and resided there the majority of his life. He worked at the UpJohn Company for 35 years until his retirement in 1987. Al was preceded in death by his parents; his first wife, Barbara Powers Dowler; siblings, Porter, Naomi, Belva, and George.
