Author Topic: John Lowe died peacefully on Tuesday 8-9-05 Bud Shepard Film Handler Posts: 31 From: Fall River, Massachusetts Registered: Feb 2000 posted 08-11-2005 07:30 AM                        Mr. John Lowe, a district manager for National Amusements died Tuesday after an illness. He was 78, and had worked in the movie industry for 63 years. He began his career as an usher at the Calvin Theatre in Northhampton, MA, and worked for National Amusements since 1962. His life long passion was studing, collecting, and sharing every aspect of the motion picture industry. He was a tough but fair district manager and had been a leader in the Western Massachusetts area for the local cinemas.  |  IP: Logged Louis Bornwasser Film God Posts: 4441 From: prospect ky usa Registered: Mar 2005 posted 08-19-2005 07:45 PM                        Thank you, Bud.
