To Rodney's family; I was sorry to hear of your loss. I will always be thankful for his kindness when my dad was in failing health, and he would take the time to go to his house to cut his hair for him. God Bless Him. Thoughts and prayers are with your family.

Angie and all of Rodney's family: Rod was a wonderful and sweet man. I knew him from years ago then just within the last 8 months we renewed our friendship and talked about once a week. He was quite a guy, always with a joke. He had such a strong faith and although he was in a lot of pain kept his hope that he would conquer this. I will miss talking to him. You are all in my prayers. He was taken way too soon!

I'm sorry to hear of Rodney's passing. I always enjoyed talking to Rodney, and I don't think I ever saw him that he didn't have a new joke to tell me.
Rest in peace buddy

So sad to lose a good friend like Rod. He was always there with a helping hand. He rescued me from more than one pickle that I got myself into. He would give you the shirt off his back. Rest in peace Rodney.

Hello..My name is Giselle Richardson. I work at the Indiana Veterans' Home. I did not know Mr. Lowry very well, only in that he came to the Veterans' Home from time to time, and would, cut the hair of the many men residents there. We was a very nice man and very professional and seemed to enjoy, a great deal, cutting their hair. I had wondered for over the past 6 months what happened to him. I am so sorry for the family's loss. I hope he did not suffer but I am, as I hope all of you are, rest assured he is no longer in pain but with God. My condolences to the family.
