Very sad to learn that Eric Low had passed. We first met in 1965 when he moved from Iowa to DeKalb. He showed up that spring along with me and about 10 other guys looking for caddy jobs at Kish CC. A week or so later some of the "older" caddies wanted to give me a "physical" initiation. To make a long story short he told these boys to back off and I wasn't harassed again. We went on to share many good times throughout the 60's and 70's.
RIP old friend. You played a wonderful back nine.

Sending much love to Carolyn and family and my cousins. Rick always made me feel welcome at family reunions, took an interest in me and made me smile. To me he was the original Iron Man with so many good stories and a great sense of humor. Thank you Rick for sharing your joy in Life. All our best, Kate Yackshaw, husband Bill and son Ramon in Phoenix AZ

Hoping wonderful memories and shared stories of life with Eric will help all of the Lows through your loss of a brother, father, and husband. Growing up in the neighborhood of his youth, I have only fond memories of a kind big brother to my grade school friends, Jane and Mary Ellen. Keeping all of you, Carolyn and his kids in my thoughts and prayers. Patty Kerwin Raih
