Dearest friends,
I am so sorry about Lowells passing. I hold many fond memories of his kindness and generosity towards me.
As I reflect back on knowing your father from the family picnics as a kid, then to becoming one of his employees, I realize that he was a very special man.
Sending you much love during this time. I think of all often.

To Lowell's family.....I'm his first cousin and remember him well although we haven't seen each other in years. His mother was my aunt (sister to my dad) and many years ago the families would get together. My sympathy. Charles Bylsma, Madison, WI.
