My sincere condolences to the entire Lowery family at this sad time. I have known Tony since the late 1950's when we were members of the South Deering Boys Club. We worked alongside each other in several assignments with the CPD. He had a physical presence that was overshadowed by a quiet inner peace. He could always be counted on in a tight spot. He will missed by all who knew him well.
