| | Caltech Press Release, 3/14/1995, William Fowler |
 | | Willy Fowler, as he was known world-wide, was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and raised from the age of two in Lima, Ohio. |
 | | In 1957, Fowler coauthored with Fred Hoyle and Geoffrey and Margaret Burbidge the seminal paper "Synthesis of the Elements in the Stars." In it, they showed that all of the elements from carbon to uranium could be produced by nuclear processes in stars, starting only with the hydrogen and helium produced in the Big Bang. |
 | | Fowler is survived by his second wife, Mary Dutcher Fowler, and two daughters, Mary Emily Fowler Galowin, and Martha Summer Fowler Schoenemann. |
