John Towe Obituary
John (Jack) David Towe Sr., born October 24, 1930, went home to be with the Lord on July 1, 2016. He was a hard- working man, jack-of-all trades, talked to and loved everyone he met, great provider, and hopelessly in love with his surviving wife of 65 years, Carolyn. He is also survived by his children, Cathy Curry (Bob), Stevie Towe (Tonia), Patti Ellison (Tom), and numerous grand and great grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his son, John (Davey) David Towe Jr., and Karen Ballard. A private reception will be held for the family.

This brings tears of laughter and sadness..My father in law,, WAS THE BEST FATHER IN LAW ANYONE COULD ASK FOR. My first thought of him is his yodeling to those old country songs. grabbing his wifes hand snd saying" come on mama" lets dance. AND CAROLYN WOULD SAY" Oh Jack" because shes so shy. And the funny story about the Beach. Remember everyone? And what about the time he made you all go meet other TOWEs? But they werent related. And Stevie broke a vase. Most of all. Both mom and Dad Gave me the Best husband in the world.THERE DON JOHN DAVID TOWE, jr. WHO SURPASSED HIM IN DEATH IN 2002. I LIVE YOU POPS! I cant wait to see you.Davie. And karen Again.
I love you
