Mr. Charles Franklin Lowrie

My sister, Mitzi Smith Harker and I were out of town together when we heard of Charles' passing. He was our cousin and always present at the Wooldridge Family Reunion each year. He impressed us at an early age with a sense of humor that surpassed his physical challenges. His determination was an incredible thing to see. Later he was an amazing brilliant man professionally. No one deserves peace in Heaven more than Charles...God Bless

CHARLES YOU WILL BE MISSED AND KNOW YOU ARE DANCING IN HEAVEN NOW. NO MOE STRUGGLES. LOVE YOU AND WILL MISS YOU. ELAINE HUNT KASPER. CLASS OF 1959.

Reading over many years of correspondence from him has, even today, brought smiles as his sense of humor came through. The somewhat mischievous smile often accompanying that sense of humor had become so familiar during our 74...

Charles set an example that all of us would do well to follow. It has been a few years since we have talked, but I have always admired his endurance and outlook on life. Jim Wooldridge (cousin)
