I and my wife Linda Devin (nee Leeper) cannot significantly express our deepest sympathy and regrets to the family and friends of Lowell. He was a most valued and memorable friend during our school years at McLain Senior High. We am sincerely remorseful we had lost contact years ago as we ventured forth in our individual pursuits. He was such a noble person during our friendship. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family.

My deepest sympathy to the Burch family. I read of Lowell's passing in the news paper today. I have not seen Lowell for more than thirty years. But I fondly remember growing up with Lowell, and the Burch family, at Valley View Baptist Church. All the fun and games we had as children. I was with Lowell in the church parking lot when he broke his arm....he never uttered a sound. I am saddened by the news of Lowell's passing, at such a young age. He was a great guy, and he will be missed.

My prayers and thoughts are with everyone in the Burch Family. I knew Lowell as an outstanding father to his sons. I also saw him as a good musician who always had a smile and enjoyed making music with others, especially his sons. God bless you all.
