Dear Lowry Family,
My thoughts and prayers are with you. I remember Jim so very well, I worked at TRW also. He always told the funniest jokes and was really full of life. The last time I saw him was at the Humane Society where he and his son were looking for a dog. He had such a kind heart and great love for others, always willing to lend a hand and the first one there when you needed him. He and Wayne were great buddies and I have nothing but fond memories of those days gone by. We shall all be reunited forever and it will be a Glorious Reunion!

Mrs. Lowry, Bobby, and Kathy, I am sorry for your loss. Your Family meant the world to him. I worked with Jim at TRW and remember a lot of good times we had together. He really lived life to the fullest the best that he could before and after the stroke. He knew how to get more out of one minute of time then most people could get in lifetime. I didn’t get to see him or talk to him much after I moved but I have never forgotten him and just actually told someone about helping him build a 100 gallon fish tank with him today. I always tell people about him and have always remembered to keep things in perspective because of him. He was a kind soul and good friend. He will always be remembered. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. God Bless, Jim Sewick

Bernice, Jim's passing shouldn't come as a shock to me, yet it does. I thought the world of Jim as a boss and friend. We were only at TRW for a short time together. Still he treated me as if I'd been with his crew forever. When I left to open Muffler Masters Jim became a regular and welcome fixture. I felt his frustration as he went day to day refusing help as much as possible and feeling embarrassed to ask when he finally had to. Post stroke life was tough on him but he persevered and made the most of what he had. I will always treasure our time together. I hope you are holding up well and wish I were in Colorado to give you one of the many hugs that you so deserve. My best Sam
