I want to express my love and respect for Mr. Lowe, and just how strong an influence he was on me in high school, 25 years ago. My prayers are with his wife and family, and all those who will miss him every day.

Mr. Lowe was always an inspiration to me ... he shared with me the wonder of the stage and the beauty of literature. I loved his intensivity and wry humor, and I'll always remember how he would get nervous as we approached opening night (Newfane High School Drama Club). Of course, he was joyous and grateful after every show. His imprint is on me everday. My thoughts and prayers go out to Mrs. Lowe and all of his family. Thank you for sharing him with us those many years ago!

Love, Van, Caroline and Family

I will always remember the great times we had together in the Choir at St. Mary's in Medina. I think of Jim often, especially when I am singing and playing the organ at Mass. May God Bless all of you at this difficult time.
