OUR HISTORY
Of special note about the Lowes: Dick and Arlene Lowe of the greatest generation, founded Dick Lowe & Associates in Dallas, Tx in 1957, but not until Dick had amassed a wealth of experience following in the footsteps of his father, Leon (Lee) Richard Lowe, who was well known in the office furniture and supply business In Muskegon, Michigan. There, Lee helped design the first Montisa Lateral File cabinet (Money Times Saver) for Brown Morse – the beginning of something great for generations to come. He lived to the age of 92.Dick and Arlene left their roots in Michigan in the early 1940’s after Arlene had been diagnosed with tuberculosis in her early twenties and had spent one year in an iron lung. Her doctors said in order to live, she would need to move to a southern climate like Texas. And so, off they went to Texas, where Dick was employed many years by Stationers Distributors, and achieved partner status. Dick and Arlene always called Texas the ‘promised land’ as she completely recovered. Both were blessed with longevity and wellness through nearly 75 years of marriage, until the ages of 96 (2015) and 99 (2019) respectively.They were very proud of their three children. Their two sons, Rick and Brad, continue as the 3rd generation in the business under the name of Rick Lowe & Company/Lowe Group, along with 4th gen sons of Rick – Scott and Chris. Dick and Arlene’s daughter Barbie also served in the family business at one time. Dick and Arlene became legendary in Texas and then throughout the nation for their work ethic, teamwork, commitment to employees, customers and manufacturers alike, having made many contributions to their business, the industry, and the community at large, a legacy that is embraced, honored and continued today. A debt of gratitude always to those who forged the pathway to this ongoing, successful family business, forever etched in history and in the hearts and memories not only of the Lowe family, but so many whose lives have been touched through the years.As part of the vision of perpetuity, a 5th generation succession plan is in progress, with Rick’s grandson/Scott’s son Luke, working at Lowe Group in the summers while going to college. It is also very possible that Rick’s other grandson/Chris’ son Jacob, may come on board one day too, having expressed great interest at just 12 years old.
