I am so sorry to hear of Jim's passing. He was a friend, and always so much fun to be around. Back in the day he was a great golfing buddy. God bless Jim Lowery and his family.

Our prayers and best wishes to all of Jim's family. He was a dear friend and trusted, steady advisor to our family and business. He was never to busy or tired to help us in good times or bad. He will be sorely missed most of all for his loyal friendship and warm, gentle chuckle. James, Dorothy and Bert Anderson

To the family of Jim Lowery:
I am so sorry for your loss. I went to Rock Hill High School with Jim and was so impressed with him. He was such a nice person and the perfect gentleman. I lost my husband of more than 40 years, Jimmy Thomasson, suddenly and unexpectedly last year when he had a massive stroke; so I can relate to your grief.
My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
