Honorable Mention (Nov. 22, 2015)
It was a benison to attend a gathering
devoted to reminisces of Tom Lowell
who was in fact much larger than life
in that strong good humor he exerted
to being so human among his fellows
that they might share in such success
to comprehend the working of things
which included themselves as people.
His astute creativity & inventiveness
near to Tom Edison & Ben Franklin
prime figures of mechanical solution
was but the shore of a vast continent
whose heart contained its multitudes
filling The Marina with his presence
blessing this thanks being given him
that we might better oversee our loss.

Thank you, Tom, for setting a beautiful example of what it means to be an exemplary and loving husband and father. You were a fantastic neighbor. I always wondered which scientific discoveries you were making in your workshop. Ellen and Peter, may your grief turn toward the joyful memories you inevitably hold. May your sadness ease with each passing day. Much love from Cathryn and Grace.

At the house on Chase St.
The Compass
November 18, 2015
by Lisa Bloch
My favorite story of Tommy is an old one. This took place in about 1983 (in the days before cell phones and GPS) when I was working at the Marina. On one of my first dates with Phil Bloch, he took me for a hike to the Pinnacle in Westminster. It was very beautiful but eventually we had to leave as I due at work. On the way down we got lost and I showed up at the Marina several hours late. Ellen and Tom were inconvenienced and very worried about me, but relieved when I arrived safe and sound.
The next day when I got to work, Tom handed me a present. A compass.
I still have it.
I love you Tommy.
