Lowell grew up learning how to work hard as a young man and continued that same work ethic throughout his life. From 1961-1977 his family lived in Chickasha where he worked for the B. F. Goodrich Co. He then moved back to Purcell where he and his brother-in-law, Dale Bebout bought the Chickasha Hills Gas Station. They later changed the name to B & G Texaco. After being partners for several years, he went out on his own and for the next 10 years he owned and operated several other Gas Stations in Purcell including the Mobil Station. After he retired Lowell enjoyed working part-time at Bacons 66 and Criswell Texaco until his health began to fail. Lowell was a faithful Christian and member of Union Hill Baptist Church in Purcell for over 40 years. He also was proud to serve as a Church Deacon for many of those years. He had a few hobbies, like raising cattle, gardening and raising water melons. Most of all he enjoyed watching his grandchildren play sports in Purcell, Norman and Watonga.
