HUDSON FALLS – Edward L. Lowell, Sr., 86, of Denis Ave, passed away at his home, with his family by his side, on Tuesday, May 7, 2013.

 Born on October 6, 1926, in Mexico, Maine, he was the son of the late Lawrence and Sadie (Fitzmorris) Lowell.

 Edward loved his black Lab, Sparky. She was his faithful companion for over ten years. He was happiest when he was at his hunting camp in Stony Creek which he owned since 1959.  He enjoyed hunting with his sons and visiting with all the neighbors and passer byers.
