Mr. Lowry was a wonderful person. He taught me in the 8th., Grade at Pembroke Hi School. He and his family were all known as good,kind caring and well educated citizens. He gave back. His family should be proud to have been a part of his life. My sincere sympathy is extened to his family.

I am Ronald's first cousin. I grew up with Ronald and his siblings in Robeson County NC, He was our family historian and has left his relatives with rich family history. He was also my 9th grade math teacher and continues to be beloved by all of the many students he taught. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family. He will be missed so very much.
