Lowell was employed at Capel Rugs in Troy for over 52 years, retiring in 2002.  He was a lifelong member of Mount Carmel Baptist Church singing in the choir for many decades, and he was a member of the Mount Carmel Quartet, The Friendly Five, and multiple Gospel singing duets, trios and groups. He loved to sing as there was always a song in his heart.

He loved people and seemed to be the center of attention with his extraordinarily witty and keen, light-hearted, clean-natured humor that was infectious. Everyone would always have an enjoyable experience while in his company, and they would usually leave with a smile on their face. He was a simple, gentle, kindhearted, fun-loving, God-fearing, gentleman who never met a stranger. Lowell was loved and respected by all who knew him, especially his family.
