Memories

Nine years ago today, my dad, Ed “Pee Wee” Lowe, passed away. He was a Gloucester firefighter when all the wharf fires and huge hotel fires happened. He was small, yet feisty.  He had a love/hate relationship with the Red Sox, collected everything, owned the Hesperus Bottle Shop in Magnolia, and beat me in every single pingpong game we ever played.  The old firemen remember him. One cool guy. This was one of his favorite prints. Sure do miss him.   —-Sharon

    Sharon,

    I miss him too. He shared a lot of the cool things he collected with me when I was a kid. I’ll never forget his direct hit on a grapefruit, thinking it was a softball. I don’t remember the date, but it was a WMEX “Good Guys” vs the Gloucester Firefighters. Your Dad hit a spectacular splash under the lights. I have a lot of great memories -we had such a good “up-bringing.. Someday post the picture from the Magnolia parade – what a bunch..

    My dad “Blueberry” was a good friend of your dad. I remember spending many days at the Magnolia fire station while your dad was working. Also your dad got me a bottle from the Ipswich Dairy, where my father-in-law worked. We all miss your dad very much.
