I known Sid Sr. for many years, but mostly siince 1982 when we started our own Automotive service business. Sid always had a joke to tell and was a wealth of information in our early years getting started. Unfortunatly our business moved further away from the oceanfront and our visits became more infrequent. Sorry to see the passing of time and the circle of life come to Sid at this time; but we make of life the best we can while we are here and Sid definetly did that. He will be missed. Tommy Potter

I can remember back in the 70's when my Dad left this area after running Brother's Auto Service for years, he took me over to Lowe's and introucedme to Mr. Lowe, Sr. and asked Sid to take care of me when my car was in need of help and I did! From that point on, I took my car to Lowe's and Sid took cre of my car from that point on and he always had that stogie out of his mouth.

Then Sid, Jr. took over and to this day I still tke my car to Lowe's because I trust them and they treat me right. I am so sorry for your loss.

Mr. Lowe will be deeply missed. I can remember as a child going to see my grandmother work at Western Auto and she would drop her car off w/ Mr. Lowe. He always took good care of his customers.
