Hi:

I am new to this site so please be gentle. I am looking for anyone from Fort Erie, Niagara Falls, CA, Tobermory, Port Colburn (sp?), etc. If anyone knows of my husband Ian Lowden or myself,his wife, Karen, through having him be your PADI Instuctor all around that area, I am desparately looking to speak with you. Or anyone at Sherkston Shores. It is my sad duty to inform you all of Ian's passing away in my arms on early Sun. morning, Sept. 19th/10. If you do know us and want to reach me you can do so by emailing me through Ian's email addy (as mine is all wonky for some reason.) His addy is:
ian.lowden@shaw.ca
If I respond to you I will be writing in the Subject Line "This is from Karen" so you know that even tho it says that it's from Ian Lowden, you will know otherwise. I am still finding pieces of my heart on the floor around where he collapsed. To date, none of the officials know what the cause of his passing was due to.

I hope this reaches many of the hundreds of divers he taught. It is a very sad time and I'm not sure when I will ever be able to be free of his being there for me whenever I needed him. I will miss him forever.

If anyone could even get to Ed's Pro Dive or Dan's Dive, Shop both in Port Dalhousie, that would problably be the best way to find people who knew us.

I look forward to hearing from anyone who might be able to help me. We just celebrated our 14th wedding anniversary and 18-1/2 years together all total.

So immensely sad,
Karen Lowden
 
Please accept my condolences and good luck tracking down friends/former students.

Karen,

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I will forward this link to a few people in that area.

Sending prayers your way.

The Ontario Diving board may also be a way to locate people, although it is going through some updates right now, and there is difficulty getting in through the main page.

Here is a link to a thread there, although you will need to register with your real name, as it is a no alias board...

Karen,

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Dan's Dive shop has moved, but I will pass the information along to Dan.

I hope that you can find comfort in happy memories to help ease the pain.

Jen
