He was a mem­ber of the Vin­tage Auto Club of Delaware and was very proud of his 1966 Mer­cury Comet Cyclone GT. A “Ford Man,” he enjoyed the out­doors and was a “farmer at heart.” He enjoyed spend­ing time with his grand­chil­dren and his Ger­man shep­herd, “KCee.”

He is sur­vived by his wife of 51 years, Mil­dred (Davis); son, Low­ell Jr. (Cindy) of Bixby, Okla.; daugh­ter, Linda Cum­ston of Delaware; two grand­chil­dren, Kate­lyn and Car­ley; brother, Paul Cum­ston of Braden­ton, Fla.; sis­ter, Helen Rogers of Colum­bus; and numer­ous nieces and nephews.

He was pre­ceded in death by a brother, Ralph; and three sis­ters, Louise, Ruth and Dorothy.
