Lowell worked for Minneapolis Moline, Control Data/Ceridian and retired in 1988; at which time he and Ellie owned and operated Country Care Lawn Service & he worked part time for Sartec Corporation & Ever Cat Fuels.

Lowell enjoyed traveling, camping, fishing, woodworking and helping a friend make maple syrup. He was known for being a hard worker and being involved in volunteer church ministry. He cherished time with his family & friends the most.

I remember dad Lowell, when he would come to visit his daughter Donice & my best friend Ray. He never wanted to sit around, he wanted to help with some project, to be making things better!
He was always so kind & sooooo industrious! We will miss you, Lowell❤️
