He was always proud of his service to his country. Once back home Lowell returned to his career with Akron Standard. While working and raising a young family, Lowell earned his Bachelor's Degree in Industrial Management and then an MBA from the University of Akron.

Lowell spent 38 years at Akron Standard, working his way up from the shop floor to the top leadership role of president. He also served on The University of Akron's College of Business Advancement Council. His accomplishments were recognized by multiple articles in the Akron Beacon Journal. Despite being in the limelight, he was a humble, loving man more concerned about the greater good of the lives he touched. He was an active member of the Tallmadge United Methodist Church where he chaired committees, as well as, pitched in where needed. Everyone could count on Lowell.
