Lowell died July 17, 2004, in Lawrence, Kan. He was 77.
Lowell grew up in Washington, D.C., and graduated from Western High School. At Princeton he belonged to Court Club, sang in the Chapel Choir, and graduated in June 1949 with honors in politics. While serving as an Army officer, he was building officer for the Palace of Justice in Nuremberg in the last months of the Nazi war crime trials. He earned a master's in Oriental languages and literature from Princeton in 1954.
Lowell's business career was with Acacia Mutual Life Insurance in Washington. He retired in 1987 when he and his wife, Janet, moved to Kansas to be near their son, Roy, and their two grandsons. His participation in choral groups was a lifelong interest. Lowell was a member of the Washington Cathedral Choral Society, the Fairfax County [Va.] Choral Society, and later, in Bonner Springs, Kan., the Kaw Valley Community Choir.
To Janet and son Roy, the class extends its profound condolences at the death of a classmate who was devoted to Princeton.
