Lowell passed away peacefully on October 2, 2025, surrounded by the love of his family. He was 85. Lowell joined the ATCA in 2001 and collected toy hot air engines, Fisher Price toys, & kachinas. Dale Kelley says that when Lowell lived in Minnesota, he would bring a truck down to the Chicago Toy Show and cheerfully fill it up.
Seeking more sun, he moved to Albuquerque, New Mexico, where he gave ATCA members a fantastic convention, filled with mountains and hot air balloons.He was a wonderful man.
