I miss my Dad every day, but especially on this the 3rd anniversary of his death. I miss his hugs, the sound of his voice, his sense of humor, his wit, his charm, and his warmth and tenderness. I love you Dad.

I miss my Dad so much. I still can't believe he's gone. I recently had the urge to call him and then realized I couldn't. I feel his influence every day and imagine the advice he'd give me about various things. I imagined over the holidays how he would have enjoyed being at my house, seeing my Christmas tree decorated and spending time with me and my husband and puppies. I miss him and wish I could turn back time. I love you Dad.

Last Sunday was Father's Day ... the 2nd one without my Dad. I miss him and hold him in my heart. Not a day goes by without my thinking of him. Best Daddy a girl could ever hope for. Kind and tender hearted, compassionate, wise, brilliant, witty and funny, gave excellent hugs and always told me he loved me when we got off the phone or left to go somewhere. How lucky was I? I'm still so inspired by him.
Dad, I love you with all my heart and I miss you. Love Charlie

Missing my Dad over the holidays. He always gave us kids strict instructions to not buy him any gifts. I found ways around it, though, by calling the "gifts" something else or by saying I didn't really "buy" them -- just acquired them or had my husband buy them. I think a little part of him was still a little happy that he had some gifts to open. Fortunately we figured out as teenagers that Dad had enough "soap on a rope" stashed away (from previous holidays), so we looked for new gifts to give him.
I miss his wisdom and advice and funny stories, but most of all I miss hearing his voice and the security of knowing he's there when I need him. I just miss my Dad, and nothing can take his place. Oh how I wish I could turn back the clock or wake up from this as some kind of dream.
I love you Dad,
Mary

Dad, this is my first Father's Day without you. Whenever I called to tell you Happy Father's Day, I could tell that you didn't even realize it was father's day. You didn't keep track of things like that. You didn't think about yourself or want for yourself. I just watched the video of Chet Atkins singing "I Still Can't Say Goodbye." That just about sums it up for today. I love you and miss you so much. - Mary

I was so sad to hear the news. Over the years, I've had so many wonderful friends, and for many of them, I've met their parents as well. Never, and I mean never, have I ever met a nicer person than Mr. Lowe (as I will always know him as) was. And even though I was around 40 years younger, I never once felt like he treated me like a kid. I always respected that as much as anything about him, and believe me, there were so many wonderful things to love about him. I met Mary & Angie in 1986 and I was lucky enough to have had many great conversations with Mr. Lowe over those years whenever I would swing by the house. I will never forget them, and more importantly him - this is a true loss for humanity. I feel lucky to have known such a great person, and for that, I'm very thankful...

Lisa, Teddie, Mary and Angie,
Your beloved father and I were law partners for many years. He joined the firm of Jenkins & Jenkins in 1966 & we
instantly became close friends and professional associates. Our offices were 'side by side' in the Bank of Knoxville building for 18 years. The assistance he gave me is beyond my ability to express.
In the mid-80's, our lives went in different directions; however, within the past year we renewed our friendship & had an opportunity to
reminisce about the "good ol' days".
These were happy times for both of us.
I so cherish his friendship and association. Ted was a wonderful person -- the world would be a much better place if there were more folks
like Ted. His integrity was above reproach and his principles lofty. He is greatly missed.
Regards,
Paul E. Dunn

Angie, Mary, Teddie, and Lisa, your dad was absolutely the best person I ever worked with (he always told me we were coworkers, not boss and employee). He challenged me intellectually and because of him I learned much in the legal field. With Ted as a friend, I had the best friend ever. He was supportive, encouraging, inspirational and simply fun to be with. He was the smartest, most intelligent and sweetest person I have ever known. I miss his jokes, his great smile, and his warm hugs. When he left us, he left a huge gap in many of our lives, and I will remember him always. And I hope when I cross over, Ted will be standing there, arms held wide, and say, as he always did, "Come on in and let's talk."
Ted's first priority was his kids, followed by his friends and his great love of the law. Although you certainly will miss him always, I know you are grateful to have had him as your dad. He loved each of you dearly and was so proud of you all.
Love,
Christy

Brenda, Ted, Jr., Lisa, Mary and Angela,
My condolences to your family. Ted was a real gentleman who had a big impact upon my life. As a really green affiliate real estate broker in 1980-81, Ted showed great respect to me as we worked through one of my first real estate transactions together. It began a business relationship and friendship that has lasted for years. I always enjoyed speaking to Ted and will miss his anecdotes. My prayers are with your family.

Brenda and Children of Ted Lowe:
So sorry to hear of your loss. I have known Ted for 35 years and he was a true friend. We burned the midnight oils together in law school. He was dedicated to his dear wife and loved her and his children very deeply. We will miss his wisdom and wit. He was a remarkable man. Our love and prayers are with his family.

I called Ted tonight just to say happy new year and to hear him tell me a joke, however, to my dismay there was no joke to be told. I was so shocked when I was told the news. Ted was a WONDERFUL man and I for one will miss him dearly. My thoughts are with his family. I am so sorry for your loss.

Ted was my close and dear Friend for more than thirty-five years. I spoke
with him daily and shall always love him
with all my heart. He was a wonderful
mentor, counsellor, and trusted Friend with great Christian principles and with unwavering loyalty. A huge and
unreplaceable gap now exists in the lives of all of us who knew, trusted, loved, and look toward this dear man for guidance and advice. May God bless
his dear family and give him peace so richly deserved by him.

I am so sorry sweetie, I have been praying for your daddy and you since Renee told me. From what I just read, he is happy and in a better place where you know you will see him again. What wonderful things to have said about you, makes me proud to know him. I know you are so proud to have called him your dad. We will be thinking of you and know you are always welcome to come by and see us.
Love you,

What a great man! Ted has been such an inspiration to me - his integrity, compassion, and goodness has guided me in my career and in my life. He taught me not to take life too seriously, to always have a joke on stand-by, that a smile and a hug really do make things better, to help the less fortunate, to show unconditional love to your family and friends, and that God is a part of a well-rounded life. His children were very blessed to have such a warm and supportive father. I look forward to the day when I can meet him once again in Heaven. Until then, I will remember him fondly and continue to strive to be more like him.

My husband, Paul Dunn, practiced law with Ted for many years at Jenkins & Jenkins. Just a few months ago they had
started having lunch together at Bravo's Restaurant. They enjoyed being together and also had Terri Hensley and
Christy French (former J & J employees) join them. All enjoyed reminiscing about their having worked together. Paul & I have many fond memories of Ted and his family, and we
will miss him greatly. To his family, please know that we are holding you close to our hearts with our prayers and our thoughts of you. May our loving Lord comfort you and give you
peace.

Dear Angie, Mary, Lisa and Ted, Jr.:
I am so sad that he's gone and hurt that I can't be there to hug each of you, not only in hopes of comforting you, but myself as well. His hugs are something I will carry with me forver along with his beautiful smile and the famous dry wit that defined Uncle Ted. He had such a loving heart and the warmth of it radiated from him. He will really be missed. My parents (Bobby Lee and Gail) and Nana (Helen) sends their love and wish they could be there too. Please know how much you all mean to us and we pray that God comforts you, today and always.
With Love from the Doby Family

To the Family of Ted, especially his children:
I'm so very sadden and shocked by hearing that Ted has passed away. I wished I had known he was hurt...I would have been there at the hospital if I'd of known! I tried several times to call him to wish him a Merry Christmas but thought he must have been out of town.
He was such a wonderful man, always had a joke & a smile, sometimes a big hug to share with me. He helped me in so many ways during my time working as Meadows Property Mgr. I could trust him completely and Ted's word was good as gold! We had countless conversations about life, politics (even though we didn't agree), love, children, and real estate. I have been so very proud & honored to have had his trust and support lately as his realtor...he had confidence in me when I had none of my own! We had several great trips up to Maynardville or to the Melton HIll property. Ted always liked for me to pick him up in the morning and then we'd stop for a coffee and a sausage biscuit to go! I think I might have some photos of him at the Lucas Lane property and if I do, I will forward them on to you.
Know you were all loved deeply and completely....
I will miss him so very much!

I walked many miles with him around the Meadows. The conversations always came around to talking about our children. Ted was not only a friend to me, but to everyone he came to know. He will be missed by all that knew him.
