I remember Lowell, his brothers , John Delmar and Paul . We were childhood friends and used to play together. My family and I moved from Prestonsburg around 1947_48. I am sorry for your loss. I did not know about his life. My husband Weldon Doran and I had a home in Stuart, Fla and also had a good friend who had a horse farm in Ocala. I live in Pittsburgh, Pa. and cherish my childhood memories.
I am glad Lowell had a wonderful life. I know you will miss him. Sincerely, Lois Wells Doran
