Lowry, Charles G., age 84, of Galloway, NJ, passed away peacefully on August 23, 2024 with his son and daughter by his side, as a result of his weakened state after two bouts of pneumonia.

He was born on February 27, 1940 in Atlantic City, NJ, the husband of the late Janice Lowry. As a child and teenager growing up in Atlantic City he enjoyed going to the beach and fishing with his friends. He graduated from Atlantic City High School and married the love of his life, Janice, a marriage of over 50 years that lasted until her passing in 2014. Most of his career revolved around carpentry on residential construction projects and later in life he started his own successful trim contracting business. Charles was a man of all trades with mastery skills in carpentry (in 1970, he built the family home in Galloway, NJ) to renovating award winning classic cars to building, tinkering and fixing just about anything. He especially showed his love for his family and friends by helping them or building/fixing things for them. His love of cars extended to his corvettes and his prize-winning turquoise and white 1956 Chevy Belair. He was a proud member of the Cruisin’ Classics Car Club and participated in or attended various car shows and parades each year. He also enjoyed travel with his family driving across the United States, vacationing in Cabo San Lucas and Europe. In retirement, he enjoyed a special trip with his daughter to Eastern Africa where they were humbled seeing the various wild animals in the Serengeti during various game drives and trekking the amazing silver back gorilla on the border of the Congo and Rwanda.

Charles is survived by his children, Scott Lowry of Galloway, NJ and Susan Lowry of Fairfield, CT, and his relatives and many friends.
