Bill, or Bomber as he was known in college, and I were close friends for more years than I can remember. We met at HJHS, played baseball and football together at HHS, and were fraternity brothers and roommates in college. He was as pure a soul as I've ever known. An old soul in many ways. Smart, witty, and extremely funny. I cherish so many memories we shared together. Love you, Big Guy.

I'm honored to still count Bill Lowe as a best friend from Huntsville Jr High, thru U of Alabama where we roomed together in the Sigma Chi fraternity house our junior year, and long afterwards in our own family lives raising families and starting careers. I still think of him and his genuine, easy-going style of experiencing all that life has to offer. I can picture him today in Heaven surrounding himself and entertaining all who will listen the funny stories of his many friends on earth and their escapades. He is missed by many, including me.
