Stanley Fowler

A security guard since November 2009, Stanley Fowler mostly worked the evening and overnight shifts. He died in August at the age of 58. Originally from England, Mr. Fowler moved to the U.S. in 2002 and had worked as a guard at Elmhurst Hospital in Queens, where he lived, before joining Rockefeller. He is remembered for his warm personality and witty sense of humor, and for his skills as a painter and artist; a painting he created, donated to the university by his ex-wife, is on display in the main security office on the first floor of Nurses Residence.

“Stanley loved it at Rockefeller and wanted to continue working as much as possible even as his health was declining,” says Jim Rogers, director of security. “He was a dedicated and reliable worker who always showed up for work in a cheerful mood.”
