Lowe, Sr., Jack leaves to forever cherish his memory his sons, Scott and Nick; and his life long friend and companion, Linda; sister, Terri, and brothers, Duane and Chris. In Jack's own words he was "your everyday down to earth fabulous human being" Oh, and modest too! Jack will be deeply missed by his family, friends and especially his sons Scott and Nick. He was fun loving, easy going, creative, very inventive and made friends easily. He was quick witted and provided a much needed source of laughter to those he befriended. His ability to come up with solutions to fix and work around anything was deeply appreciated. He could fix a garbage disposal, do electrical wiring, pump out a clogged drain, clean the gutters, whatever the task, he was up to it despite the fact that he was blind. His response to all down & dirty jobs was "hey, I can't see it so it doesn't bother me." Jack was extremely proud of his sons Scott and Nick. Not only for whom they have become as young men, but for their many academic accomplishments. He would want you to continue to do your best and he will surely be with you in heart for all your future endeavors. Dad, we never thought of you as being blind. We admired you for all you were able to accomplish despite your blindness. Please keep a watchful eye on us (now that you can see in heaven), we love you with all our hearts.
