LOWERY/LOWREY/LOWRIE/LOWRY chose his own route on Great Escape
By Kate DALEY, Special To Sun Media, Sun., March 16, 2008
He wasn't one of the tunnel diggers, but he may have been one of the men who secreted the dirt out in their pant legs.
No stranger to hard work, Russel William LOWERY/LOWREY/LOWRIE/LOWRY spent 35 years in the building supply business in London.
But he also had a claim to fame tied to other hard -- and deadly dangerous -- work: The Great Escape by Allied prisoners of war from a German camp during the Second World War.
Joining the Royal Canadian Air Force in 1941, LOWERY/LOWREY/LOWRIE/LOWRY saw action with 419 squadron.
Returning from a bombing run over Germany, his plane was shot down. He survived, but the enemy captured him.
He was taken to a prisoner of war camp for air officers, Stalag Luft III, from which the famous escape tunnels to the outside code-named Tom, Dick and Harry -- were dug.
LOWERY/LOWREY/LOWRIE/LOWRY spent two years at the camp, its breakout popularized by the movie The Great Escape, with Steve McQueen.
"He was one of the lucky ones that never did escape," Gregg LOWERY/LOWREY/LOWRIE/LOWRY of London said of his father.
After digging extensive tunnels under the camp, using everything from milk cans to bed boards, a large group of prisoners tried a mass escape.
Fifty men were captured and killed by the Germans and the rest turned back, said Gregg, adding it was lucky his father never made a run for it.
When the advancing Russians invaded, the Germans closed the camp and marched the men toward Berlin. LOWERY/LOWREY/LOWRIE/LOWRY was finally liberated in 1945.
"He did what he had to do," said his son.
"Once he decided on doing something, he never regretted it. He lived his life with an incredible amount of integrity."
When The Great Escape premiered, LOWERY/LOWREY/LOWRIE/LOWRY and some of the other prisoners of war were invited to view the movie in Toronto.
He told his son the film was a bit embellished, but he recognized some characters' names.
Born in Hamilton in 1913, LOWERY/LOWREY/LOWRIE/LOWRY returned to the area after the war and married Marion CAMPBELL in 1946. Their son was born in late 1947 and a daughter, Jane, in 1950.
The family later moved to London where LOWERY/LOWREY/LOWRIE/LOWRY worked for Woollatt Lumber, a company he eventually bought.
Retiring 32 years ago, he was an active golfer and curler until the last years of his life. He wintered in Florida and moved to Dundas 15 years ago.
"He was respected both in business and as a member of the Highland Country Club and Dundas Valley Golf and Curling Club," said his son.
"I never heard anybody say a bad word about him."
LOWERY/LOWREY/LOWRIE/LOWRY died at his home last Tuesday. He was 94. Besides his two children, he is survived by his wife of 62 years, Marion, and one grandson.
Every night at 5 o'clock LOWERY/LOWREY/LOWRIE/LOWRY would sit down with a rye and soda. He was known to poke fun at the doctors who nagged him about that habit.
"He lived as long as he did because he had his own medicine," his son said with a laugh.
