I was just discussing Mr. Lowry with my kids the other day. The subject of musical's came up and I was remembering being directed by him. My kids were of course shocked to think of their father being in a musical. What a great teacher and mentor he was. I remember him following our class from 5th to 6th grade into the middle school years ago. He will be greatly missed.

I'm saddened to hear this news. Mr. Lowry was one of my favorite teachers in middle school, and he definitely had a way with students that needed a bit of a push in the right direction. He is missed.

Sorry for your loss. He was a wonderful teacher and man. I had him in fifth grade. I was very shy and he made me stand on the reading table and
recite Mary had a little lamb out loud. I'm not very shy anymore. Prayers go out to you and your family.

I've known Tom and Yvonne and their family for over 30 years, having met them at the Civic for auditions. What an exceptional man who gave so much to the arts, education and his community. I remember the time, recently, Tom lost his dentures. We were having lunch and Tom could only eat cream pies. The look on his face as he ordered his second piece! My prayers are with Yvonne and her family. Tom, we will miss you.
