"I have many memories of Lowell and Mary. My husband Jim Alford worked next door to Sellman & Mallet at Hinkles Honda for several years. We also went to the Moose and K of C to many dances with them back in the day. Lowell was a very happy go lucky person. Lots of fun to be with, both he and Mary. He has a big place in my heart. R.I.P. my dear friend. Cindy Alford/Cynthia Sellers"

"I am so sorry for you loss. Although it has been 21 years since I moved to Michigan, I still have many fond memories of Lowell at the machine shop. He was such a good man and always dropped what ever he was doing to accommodate me including staying late. To Mary and family, please accept my sincere condolences. May your memories of Lowell, his big smile and unmistakably laugh be with you forever. Rest In Peace Lowell. Steve Harp"
