Claude Lowe Obituary
He served as a proud U.S. Marine from May 20, 1944 through June 20, 1946. Claude retired from Liggett & Myers Tobacco Company after more than forty years of service. He was a handsome, caring, energetic man and the best husband and father anyone could ever have. He was loved deeply by his children and grandchildren because he cared so very much for each of them. He touched the hearts of all who knew him for his kindness and willingness to always give a helping hand.
Surviving are his two children, Gary R. Lowe and wife, Karen of Las Cruces, NM, Gail Lowe King and husband, Tommy of Durham; three grandchildren, Stacy H. King and wife, Susan of New Bern, Jennifer L. King of Alexandria, VA, Molly S. Jordan Lowe and husband, Frank Corvaisier of Paris, France.
In August his children gave him a 90th birthday party and have decided that was the best way to celebrate his life and will serve as a memorial service.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Duke Community Hospice, 4321 Medical Park Drive, Suite 101, Durham, NC 27704.
The Lowe family is under the care of Hall-Wynne Funeral Service, Durham.

Gail and Gary..I am so sorry to hear about uncle Claude passing. I remember the last time that mom and I visited with him. He went digging through his video tapes and gave me the one he shot during the helicopter ride I gave once, I had forgot about it, but he though I might like to have it. I will miss him.

Dear Gail and Gary, Lib and Claude were so special to me, and Claude was truly a dad to me and always there to help me. I could never put into words what your parents meant to me when I was growing up. I must have spent almost as much time at your house as I did at my own. Thank you so much for sharing these two very special people with me. Love, Carol

Dear Gary & Gail: Your dad and mom were my first friends when I moved to Chapel Hill in 1983. I always loved your mom's gentle, southern manners and laughed at your dad's pluck. I will miss them both and remember them with much fondness.
