All the wonderful attributes of Lowell will live on in his incredible daughters. How lucky he was to have them and how blessed they were to have him as their dad.

Lowell was one of those persons that everyone should have the pleasure of meeting. Easy going and a positive outlook on life but with a sight on achieving a goal.
I had the fortunate experience of working with him and Mark on a sculpture that was placed at South Beach Park in San Francisco. He offered me positive insights into how Mark worked which helped in making the piece and our experience a memorable one.
My deepest condolences to his family.

Lowell was indeed one of the kindest and most considerate person we ever met. The first time he played racketball with our son, Lowell played so that Jason felt he could REALLY play!!
