It is with sadness that I have just read that Kurt Fowler passed away on June 19. I had the pleasure of meeting Kurt at the 2013 Boston GN and featuring his 63 Park Avenue in our 63/64 Chapter newsletter later that year. Kurt had served as President of the Central Plains region and was co-owner of Autotech Collision and Service in Wichita, Kansas.  There is a message regarding Kurt's passing on the Autotech site at http://autotechcs.com/index.html  Kurt was a super nice guy and will miss him as a friend and fellow Cadillac enthusiast.

You can see his featured 1963 Park Avenue and cover story in the November 2013 newsletter at this link:

Kurt has spent 34 years in the automobile repair industry. From 1980 to 2002 were he was with the Bulger Cadillac Oldsmobile and Jeep dealership. Kurt has had years of G.M. training, is ASE certified Master mechanic, and specialize in knowledge of vintage to modern Cadillac's. Kurt's hobbies include wildlife conservation, hunting, fishing, restoring Cadillac's of the 50's & 60's, and really enjoy playing Saxophone. Jazz and Blues are his favorites but like all GOOD music. He have been attending St Jude Catholic Church, but have recently moved to the Saint Elizabeth Ann Seaton Parrish. Kurt is currently president of the Central Plains region Cadillac LaSalle club, and treasure of the Ringneck Rustlers, our Sedgwick county chapter of Pheasants Forever.

God Bless Kurt, he sold me my first Cadillac, the 63 that I own today. I honestly just found out today when reading through Wichita news as I am now back home in Kansas.

I met Kurt a few times at the Grand Nationals. I think the first time was 2013 in Boston. Super nice guy, and huge loss to the Cadillac community.
