Kansas City, MO Wednesday, April 29, 2020 So sorry to hear of Lowell's passing. I attended District #88 with him and also Hooper High School. After high school I lost track with him but would have enjoyed seeing him in Omaha as either an actor or a director. Prayers to the family. Judy Mintken Zimmerman Class of 1966John Morrissey
