Bo was our neighbor at Lake Wylie. We loved going there and always hoped they were home. We had many good times with them.

So very sorry to hear of Mr. Lowry's passing. I remember him and your mother very well when I worked at Park Pointe Village years ago. He was an interesting, funny man. Love and condolences to the family.
