Born in Wilkes County, he was the son of the late L. B. Lowe and Dorene Deal Lowe. After high school, Larry joined the U.S. Navy and served from 1962 to 1966.

So sorry to hear of Larry’s death. We (Steve) and I did and have so many good memories of the Newtowne Miniature Golf. May God fill your family with peace and comfort as you grieve his passing. Steve and Larry are now up in heaven enjoying a round of golf, and probably some pool, too!
