I'm quite a bit late in posting this, but I did want to let folks know about this passing, because quite of few of us 50 somethings grew up with Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom and will remember Jim Fowler. He, along with Marlin Perkins, hosted the beloved and long-running nature show that we all knew and loved. Jim Fowler passed away on May 8, 2019.

Interestingly, Jim Fowler and my father were close friends when they both attended Earlham College in Richmond, Indiana, together, in the 50's. My dad was 2 years older than Jim, but they were good friends and Jim was my dad's best man at my folk's wedding, in 1956.

So, rest in peace, Mr. Fowler......and give my dear Pop a great big hug for me when you see him up there in Heaven.
