Mr. Lowe was such a nice man and an excellent Teacher. I had him for Physics in 1982. He made Physics so interesting and I enjoyed his class very much. He left a wonderful legacy in DISD. May he rest in peace and may his family know that he touched so many lives.
I’ll echo everything Charlotte said above. I was also in the c/o 1982 and truly enjoyed Mr. Lowe’s Physics class. What an enjoyable person to be around.
Mr. Lowe was a wonderful teacher and human being. I had him for Physics and also bus driver. I will always remember how much fun he made class and how he saw so much potential with my brother, and took him to state in physics! I hope his family realizes how many people he touched along the way. He was a great man. RIP, Mr. Lowe.
He was one of the finest teachers that I’ve ever met. His dedication to his students and teaching was greatly remarkable. I first met Mr. Lowe, as my bus driver to school, a very kind and caring person, and latter went to his classes in Physics in 1991-1992. Certainly, he had a passion to teach and left its mark on anyone who met him. I feel, very lucky to have had met a teacher like him. He was truely one of the finest person of his field. May he rest in peace.
