Sooooooo many memories! Dad, Daddy, Grandpa, and his laugh. How he could keep his cool. How we loved turning wrenches together, first Datsun 510's and then antique Triumphs. How he would give up sleep so he could drive back and forth from Long Beach for "Duty" in the Navy so he could be home with all of us, "Mom and the kids". All 9 of us! His smell. How he protected and defended for us in times of need. Camping, often in the Cuyamacas at Paso Picacho, Julian or Borrego or Glamas, etc., how to pitch a tent, cook over a fire pit, what to watch for good and bad. Both in camping and in life. He warned me about, "what boys might want". Helping me when I was very, very, very ill! How gentle his strong hands can be. How intelligently he could figure out how to put back together any machine, or build anthing new; such as, his model cars. I LOVED helping him pick out which one 'to get next'. But most of all, for all that love him, you know your love was gratefully received and gratefully returned. He is a man of honor and integrity. We are less as a whole without him here; but he was an amazing Teacher and Father, Friend, and Companion above all else, and WE ALL will be moving forward with what he gave to us. I grieve and mourn deeply, our love, Father and eldest Daughter, our reliance on each other in such a unique way, but only for how we could love all the other children and Mom better, I am grateful for having been at your side helping my Mom the best I could, trying to 'be there' for you when you had to go to war to help Protect The Country, too. We were all so young then. Again, I want to say, I Love You Dad, and thank you soooooooo much for Simon, Tim, and Adam, Grandma and Grandpa Sage, our Uncles, and Our Cousins! Such a bonus. They ALL gave us more and enriched our lives. My Brothers helped make me a better me. Grandma and Grand pa each taught me more about being true to myself, as well as loving support. My cousins now, loving support as well. I miss you Daddy. Please give Chrissy and Mom an extra long hug for me, and a kiss on the forehead, and rhat way you get more coming back to you. Thank you Father God, and Brother Jesus for preparing the way for him. I am trusting that all the Grandparents have gotten together and we have ONE large Mansion

I met Lowell only once when having lunch with Peg, Bob, Meral and a few others some years ago in Painesville. We had such a good time and somewhere I have a photo of the event. My condolences to you all. My husband, Marshall, spoke of Lowell often with fond memories. Sincerely, Kazmira Heinbaugh
