So sorry to hear of Lowell’s passing. We went to school together from Flat Rock School through Gladstone High School. He was always a gentle soul. After many years it was quite a surprise to reconnect at the Gladstone Senior Center and meet Peggy. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Rest in peace, Lowell.

With sincere regards I send my sympathies to the Seeley family. I,also, went to school at Flat Rock and many Sundays picked up Lowell for church. It was great to see him at our class reunion last year. He will be truly missed. May the peace that only God can provide bring you comfort during this time. Celebrate his life well. Blessings Len Sabourin

With a heavy heart we say goodbye to a wonderful man. I would like to express my deepest sympathy to the Seeley family. When I moved to Gladstone i did not know one person Lowell was among the first to welcome me to Gladstone high school; a friendship that has lasted through the years. I was with Lowell when he was introduced to a girl named Peggy Johnson, and we all know how wonderful that turned out.
I cannot put in words how much Lowell will be missed by all. Perhaps time and family will help mend a broken heart. My prays are with the Seeley family. For Lowell I will say “Thanks for the memories.”

I’ve known Lowell for a long time with our common interest in Ham Radio. He’s been a special friend and I miss him already.

As a new Ham, I found Lowell as a brick, inspiration and foundation of DCARS club here in Escanaba. He is the pillar of the amatuer ham radio knowledge here in our town. 50 years plus. I was so blessed to know him for a very short time. My prayers are for God to rest his soul, and bring peace to his family and ham friends. God Bless his family to find peace. I keep you all in my prayers.
