If I had to select one person as my hero, it would be my Uncle Lowell. You were always there for me when I needed it the most. Just as you were for others. You always believed in me, when others turned away. Just as you did for others. You always provided encouragement in every contact made and you made sure that I knew you believed in me. Your belief in me and my abilities, combined with the depth of your encouragement helped me in many areas of my life, both personally and professionally. You set the bar of my life's expectations and I hope that I can provide the same encouragement to others that you have given to me. I am going to miss you immensely. You will live on forever within me, within my heart. I will speak to you often and look forward to the wisdom of our conversations within my dreams.
