After returning home, he married the love of his life, Joyce C. Gentry. Lowell worked at various manufacturing plants, including Cessna and GE & retired from Rubbermaid. In his free time, he enjoyed playing card games with his grandkids and Dominoes with his dad and brothers, for Lowell it was a regular family event that he cherished.
