I was extremely saddened to hear of Lowell's passing. I have such fond memories of Lowell, particularly at the many Stepdancing and Fiddling competitions. He was such a caring, family man and yet spent so much of his life being involved with and supporting his local community. He will be dearly missed! Please cherish your wonderful memories.

We are saddened to hear of the passing of Lowell. We rented one of our first apartments from him at Sunset Apartments - such a wonderful person - as the years passed we often met him on the street and he always had time to stop and say hello and wonder how things were - a real gentleman through and through. Please accept our sincere sympathy in your loss of a wonderful husband, father and grandfather.

Condolences to Barb and the Yorke family. Saddened to hear of your loss. Worked with Lowell when he was Mayor and after PUC disbanded. He continued to stop into Town Hall every few months just to say hi. He was always a kind and genuine caring person. He will be missed.

Unfortunately, we were unable to travel in the comfort of a Cruiser Van. Lowell will be missed, but he left us with so many fond memories. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

I am very saddened by the passing of Lowell. I worked for Lowell at the Perth Public Utilities Commission from 1994 until his retirement. I very much admired how he always became involved in day to day operations. From over-seeing Main-breaks, to participating in First-Aid Courses, Conferences, becoming a Licensed Water Operator. He was always a Gentleman, and was very approachable. Rest in Peace Lowell, you won't be forgotten.

My condolences to the Yorke family - may God keep you comforted at this time. Lowell has gone home and will suffer no more. I knew him when he was Mayor and whenever he entered the Town Hall he always spoke to me if I was working the night shift at dispatch. He was a wonderful caring man and always interested in what was happening. Many fond memories - may he rest in peace

Dear Barb, Kelli, Tom and Families,
We were saddened to hear of Lowell's passing and want to convey our deepest sympathies to all of you. Take comfort in knowing how well he was admired and loved and cherish so many memories that you have made. My fondest memory of Lowell is how proud he was of Kelli's stepdancing and Tom's fiddling talents. I used to think his shirt buttons were going to pop when they performed on stage! As we are wintering in Florida, we will be unable to attend the services, but please know that you will be in our thoughts and prayers.
With much love,
Donna and Lee
