George was born November 5th, 1930, in Tacoma Park, Maryland to parents George W. Sr and Mary Theresa (Rabbitt) Fowler. George Jr. married his high-school sweetheart and love of his life, Patricia M. Worthington in Coral Hills, MD in 1948. They went on to have three daughters. He served in the Navy National Guard before his father's sudden death. This affected him dramatically and led him into a calling and service to his Lord and Savior.

George graduated from Tacoma Park High School. He attended Lycoming College in PA., Bangor Theological Seminary, Bangor, where he received his Master's Degree and University of Maine, BA History, Orono, ME. Education was very important to him.

George also served as Chaplin, faculty member, and educator at Unity College, earning many honors. The last church he served (retired from) was Wells United Congregational Church UCC, Wells, ME. He was a great community leader, Mason, philanthropist, educator, with deep devotion to his ministry and also in his relationship to God.

George was a wonderful husband, father, grandfather (known as Pop) and great-grandfather. He is predeceased by his wife, Patricia in 2004; both his parents and his sister, Diane.
