RIP Lowdon Heller Feb 24, 1924-May 28, 2016

I notice that Lowdon had not published here since 2010.  He lost his computer with passwords, etc to a house fire a year or more ago.

Lowdon was residing at Elder Inn for the last few months.  He indicated he was having trouble sleeping, but his problems were worse than that once admitted to the Gregory, SD Hospital.  Lowdon died there five days after admittance.  His funeral and interment will be today, June 1, 2016 at Ideal, SD.

Below is the last photo of Lowdon that I took.  It was in November 2015 at Winner, SD Elder Inn. We had gotten his computer, TV/Monitor, printers that I had rescued from the tornado and rain damaged Ideal School where Lowdon was living after his home burned.  We had just put a new chair together and he was testing it.

Condolences to his family and friends who may still be able to find this blog. --- Doug Wiken
