I didn't know Robert Lee Lowery, but he must have been a great man of music. I went to SCHS with the many Lowery family name. I'm sure he was inspirational in their lives. Therefore, in honor of him and the great Lowery name, I send my condolences to all the family, friends, and music lovers and musicians who Robert Lee's music touched and lives changed.

Robert, thanks so much for all that you gave us at Lulu's. I'll forever be grateful for the evening in 1992 when you first asked me about setting up a gig in our new cafe, and for the subsequent seventeen or so years of music and memories . We're all going to miss you very much.

Loved hearing him play at Lulu Carpenter's years ago. On my way into Union Grove Music one day years ago to buy a guitar, I encountered him & asked if he'd accompany & help me make the selection. He did & it's a fond memory. RIP Mr Lowery, which is what I always called him out of respect. Sandra Cohen
