I do remember that a fund was set up with donations by the general public and eventually my dad received some money which he split between himself, me and my brother," said Fowler.
He expressed gratitude that a permanent monument was finally constructed after decades of discussion.
"I can't imagine many people who are still around who were there at the time.
I know there has been lots of discussions about a proper memorial, and this has finally happened," said Fowler.
Fowler detailed his travel schedule on the day of the 60th anniversary service.
"It was a long day," said Fowler.
He arrived at Penmaenpool in the early afternoon following a long drive from Lancashire.
"I set off at 9.30am, called on a friend of my wife near Oswestry for a quick break, and arrived at Penmaenpool at 2.20pm," said Fowler.
He remained at the site throughout the afternoon commemorations.
"I didn't leave until 5pm and got back home at 8.30pm," said Fowler.
The service included prayers, a bagpipe recital, readings, and a formal wreath-laying ceremony.
"The ceremony went well.
It started exactly at 3pm, next to the memorial, and then moved onto the toll bridge itself for prayers by Reverend Carol Roberts," said Fowler.
A relative of victims Gwyneth and William Prebble performed a bagpipe recital during the ceremony.
"Then it was back to the memorial for the unveiling followed by a reading, and a bagpipe recital by Graham Prebble who is a relation of Gwyneth and William Prebble who were two of the 15 that died," said Fowler.
