Mr. Lowe passed away on May 12, 2001. In addition to this 1997 oral history, he participated in a videotaped program at The Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza on November 21, 1997. His ex-wife, Jillen Lowe, recorded an oral history on January 8, 2004. Mr. Lowe's historic archive of Kennedy negatives, totaling some 40,000 images, were stored in a safe deposit box at 5 World Trade Center, the building adjacent to the Twin Towers. These negatives were destroyed during the terrorist attack on September 11, 2001. In the aftermath, using digitally-enhanced contact sheets of these "lost" images, the Lowe Estate compiled an extensive retrospective of Lowe's Kennedy photography in the book, Remembering Jack: Intimate and Unseen Photographs of the Kennedys (2003). In conjunction with the Lowe Estate, The Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza created the photographic exhibition "Remembering Jack" in 2003. - Stephen Fagin, Curator
A few of Mr. Lowe's original Kennedy negatives did survive the 9/11 attack. He had removed them from storage to make new prints for a special exhibit of his work at The Sixth Floor Museum. The negatives had not yet been returned to storage at the time of the attack . - Gary Mack, Curator
