He was born the son of the late Russell and Helen Diven Lowell on September 21, 1950 in Columbus, Ohio. Bob proudly served as Captain with the Hillsboro Fire Department with 30 years of service, dedicating his career to protecting others with courage, commitment, and heart. Known for his steady leadership and deep compassion, he was a role model to many in the firefighting community. Outside of his career, Bobs life was grounded in love, service, and family. He was a devoted member of St. Marys Episcopal Church, where he found strength and fellowship. Family was at the center of everything he did.
