He was a great neighbor to my dad. Shortly after my dad’s passing he came over with his pen and notebook asking how we were all doing. Such a great man. He will be missed.
Lowell will be dearly missed. He was the best neighbor ever! He gave us so many good memories and we learned a lot from him. He loved his family fiercely. Our thoughts are with you all. ❤️
Have missed you Tommy and our friendship both from school, the baseball fields, and the kvcc. You were a great friend, athlete, and good sport. All your family was always good to me. No doubt you will be missed by too many of us to list and count. (Except those you played against). We had good times good friend. Hope to see you again on another playing field. RICK.
