Not sure what to say?

I just had to add one more thing as it is making me smile. My mom had to have both mitral and aortic valves replaced when she was 62. She had lost a lot of weight as all her calories were going to keeping her heart beating. She adored Dr. Low and so did we. She said one day he came in her hospital room, lifted one of her legs up and said "Skinny!" She was the kind that got a big kick out of that and was laughing when she told us. She lived 29 years after her surgery, which was longer...

I've been asked to share another memory of Henry so this is one of my favorites. I took him home one weekend in NH to visit my family. It was winter and there were some high mounds of snow that had been put there by the plows. My brother asked if we wanted to try out his snow mobile - we both said yes. Well, Henry and I were soon soaring through the air. I was always a dare devil so I loved it but poor Henry was hanging onto me for dear life screaming. I suppose it really wasn't funny for...

I was deeply honored to have known Dr. Low for a few years. He and his beloved wife, Wei, are two of the kindest, most genuine people one could ever hope to meet. Dr. Low´s wit and humor, especially his sharp and endearing sarcastic jokes, brought joy to so many, and they will be greatly missed. His wisdom, compassion, and unwavering kindness left a lasting impact on everyone who had the privilege of knowing him. Dr. Low´s legacy will live on, not only through the countless lives he touched...

Amazing man. May you Rest In Eternal Peace, Sir.

Thank you Dr Henry Low. I´ll forever be grateful to you for saving my life at 6 months old in 1963. You are my Angel My deepest and dearest condolence´s to your family Thank You Dr Low

Dr. Low operated on my mom in 1989, giving her two mechanical heart valves. He was a great man but also a warm one with a sense of humor. My mom lived to be 91 and passed in 2016. She lived life to the fullest thanks to Dr. Low. No one expected her to live that long after the surgery, and the last year was hard, but we could never thank Dr. Low enough for giving us back our mother.

I miss you Dr. Low and your legacy goes on. - John Ravi

My belated deepest condolences and sympathy to Dr.Low´s family. I just learned about Henry´s passing recently. I met Henry in 1967 at Manchester Memorial Hospital when I was an intern, subsequently I had had a great pleasure of working with him as an Anesthesiology resident as well as an attending for several decades until he retired. He was a friendly,charming,talented and intellectual gentleman and surgeon. He will be greatly missed by all those who were lucky enough to know him and work...
