I am just now learning that Mr. John Lowrey had passed away. I am so sorry I was not able to attend the memorial. I have only lately had the honor of meeting him and his wonderful wife Mary - but I feel like I've lost a role model. He was kind, warm and very generous with his thoughts and memories. Rest in Peace, Mr. Lowrey, you made a difference.

I loved my uncle very much. He always made me laugh. His red and white checked pants that he wore at Christmas will always be a fond memory that will continue to make me smile!
Peace be with you Danty, Meridith, & Aubrey. He was a wonderful husband, daddy, and Papa who loved and adored you very much.
