He graduated in Industrial Engineering in 1951, worked with a small firm until joining H. A. Williams & Associates, consulting engineers, at its inception in 1954. He retired as a principal 33 years later. His family is most proud of his designing the first exterior lighting for The LeVeque Tower, aka “Grandpa’s Building”. Lowell is survived by Ruth and his son, Craig (Kathy), daughter, Kathy Mast Kane (George) and daughter-in-law, Kim Richards Mast; grandchildren Scott Palmer, Jeff Palmer, Danica Kane (Zach Fredin), Mitchell Kane, and DeWitt Kane; great-grandchildren Christopher, Savannah and Tacoma Palmer. Lowell was predeceased by infant brother, Donald and beloved son, Keith Alan.

The family thanks caregivers Ann Marie, Marlene, Kristina, Teresa, Dr. Stuart J. Kanter and OhioHealth Hospice for their loving care. A Memorial Service officiated by Dr. Mark Arni and burial among loved ones will be held at Sunset Cemetery on Monday, May 17 at 12:30 pm.

And give serious consideration to getting a shingles vaccination.
