Dear Andy,
So sorry to learn of Lowell’s passing. I remember him from working at Cliff Curtis’ gas station and garage in Perryville with his brothers! My Dad Dean and I would visit there regularly for a cold soda and whatever auto parts we might need. Those were fun times and I remember them fondly! God bless you and your family,
