Lowell stayed dedicated to his trade and worked many years in building construction and carpentry, while building many friendships with coworkers and customers along the way. His dedication to his trade, great work ethic and willingness to teach are the characteristics that best describe Lowell. Anyone who knew Lowell knows he sure enjoyed a good laugh with friends and coworkers. Always willing to teach those around him, especially when it came to the carpentry trade and gardening. He had a heart for animals, especially his dogs at the farm. He also had a love and skill for gardening, where he spent many evenings during the summer canning vegetables and tending to his garden. Although his animals and gardening had a special place in his heart, nothing could come close to the love he had for his three children and eight grandchildren. Whenever he had the chance to see them or hear about them, the emotions would pour out in laughter and were usually followed by tears of joy.
