I just now heard of Bob’s passing.
I went to P.S.#67 and Washington H.S. with Bobby. We attended the same church ,Fairfax Christian in Indianapolis. I will always remember what a wonderful person that he was. May his memory be a blessing to us all.

I, too, was a high school classmate of Bob. We always knew he was a special person; how absolutely wonderful to learn he went on to teach and inspire others in the ways of Christ. May God’s Peace comfort his wife and family. God bless you all.

Waves of grief washed up on my mountain on the other side of the world after I learned about Bob’s passing. Grief then mingled with light as loss was overwhelmed by flashes of glory from the Throne Room. How we will miss him. How beautiful were his feet. How wistful is the heart, peering through that dark glass for one shining, face-to-face glimpse of the absolute beauty that Bob sees clearly now. We must be content with dim reflections, stricken with grief but buoyed with hope. Peace, grace, and comfort to Marilyn and their children. May love surround and carry you through the next painful moments, days, weeks, months, and years. From China.

The Mighty Has Fallen . . . but he will rise again

Bob Lowery was among the mighty men who served God well because he knew he was not the Almighty. From the early days of living with him in Lincoln’s infamous Timothy Hole (before it became “The Hole”), he was among those who were respected for his deep thought and zest for life. Practical jokes were as serious as practical theology. Little did I know then, however, that he would become a highly respected scholar, seminary professor, writer, and preacher–showing a powerful passion for God, God’s Word, and God’s people. And in those serious endeavors, he never lost his playfulness and joy in telling good-natured stories on his friends.

His influence as a student was felt so strongly in the administration that as we registered for classes each semester, the rule with our group of students was, as Mike Sheet explains it, “Go to the registrar’s office to get your registration packet, look at the schedule to select your classes, fill out your registration cards, check with Lowery and Clymer to see if they have talked the Dean into making any changes in the class schedule.” Only then were you allowed to complete your registration and pay your bill.

The loss of Bob Lowery on this earth is felt among those Lincoln students of the turbulent late 1960′s who learned to love and serve God in a different way than their parents–and are now, led by Bob, are passing the torch to another generation of leaders who are learning to serve God in a different way than we did.

The mark of a true leader is that they finish well. Bob did that and more. See you real soon friend.

I am saddened by the loss of Dr. Lowery. He has touched so many people so beautifully with the love of Christ. But, my heart is lifted to know that he is at home, rejoicing and free. My prayers will be with Marilyn and the children. Bob has truly run and finished a great race. I am very thankful to have known him and been under his teaching.

I am so saddened to hear of Bob’s passing. I was his classmate at George Washington High School in Indianapolis. Although I had not seen Bob since we graduated, I feel that I have come to know him through his writings. I happened upon his website “by accident” last year and have been so blessed by his postings, sermons and commentaries. I extend my deepest sympathies to you, Marilyn, your children and grandchildren. I feel honored to have known him.

I am deeply saddened by the loss of Dr. Lowery. He was a great teacher and mentor. He no longer has to interpret the veiled mysteries of Revelation; he is now experiencing them.

May the peace of God surround you, the comfort of the Holy Spirit enfold you, and the love of Jesus sustain you in these days of rejoicing and mourning. Our loss will be felt around the world, yet many will continue teaching and preaching knowing they were privileged to have Bob as teacher and friend.

The iron hand it ain’t no match for the iron rod
The strongest wall will crumble and fall to a mighty God
For all those who have eyes and all those who have ears
It is only He who can reduce me to tears
Don’t you cry and don’t you die and don’t you burn
For like a thief in the night, He’ll replace wrong with right
When He returns

-Bob Dylan
