James Thomas "Jim" Lowry

Miss ya, pal.

Jim sounds like he was an amazing man- great husband, father, teacher, & friend to all. Michael & I want to extend our deepest sympathies to you Patricia & your family. May God bless you & bring you comfort & peace. Love, Michael & Marlene Cox (cousin)

No other teacher in my high school made as much of an impact on my love of reading and learning in general as Mr. Lowry. He introduced me to so many books, most notably the Spenser series by Robert B. Parker, and we would often talk about them before class. He treated his students with respect, and I always felt welcome in his class. He gave me a lifelong love of learning, and I often mention him to people as an example of the ultimate teacher. The world was better because of him, and I...

Dear Patty, we were so very sad to learn of Jim's passing. Please accept our sincerest sympathy. I think about you every year and remember all the good times at Owens-Illinois and the loving memories of our Pokeno Club. Blessing to you and your family.

I’m so sorry to hear of the passing of Mr. Lowry as I knew him. He was such an amazing teacher! We all knew he loved us and he loved teaching. He knew each of us individually and pulled the best out of us. He was definitely one of the great teachers that touched my life. So grateful for the influence he had in me. May you find peace at this time and know he was loved by many!! —Alison Masters Carr

My sincere sympathies to the Lowry family.

Jim was president of Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity during my time at the University of Toledo and did an admirable job in very crazy times.

It was really neat to see how many of his students responded to his calming, yet fun to be with personality.

Rest in Peace, Brother Jim.

Mr Lowery was my absolute favorite teacher in high school. He was knowledgeable but he had a way about him that made him appeal to every type of student. He was a very kind and funny person. My prayers are with his family.

What a great guy. We went to Start together and were on the baseball team. Didnt know where he was until long after I was teaching in Maumee. A super guy that was a friend to all. We need more like Jim. Condolences to his family and friends. Rick Sabo

My condolences to the Lowry Family. Mr. Lowry was one of my favorite teachers and wrestling coaches I ever had . A nice, kind and wonderful man.
