JOHN GREGORY LOWER, 70
Loving husband, father, grandfather, and friend, John Gregory Lower passed 
away on Sunday, April 7th at his home in San Clemente surrounded by family.

John Gregory was born in Ionia, Michigan on December 7, 1948, to Mary and 
John (Jack) Lower. He attended the University of Illinois where he graduated 
from the School of Engineering. After serving in the army for a couple years, 
he moved to California and stated working for Fluor Daniel in 1975. His first 
overseas job took him to Korea, where he met the love of his life, Soon. They 
were married shortly after on year and their three children Anna, Kim and Ben 
were all born there.

The family moved back to California a couple years later and John Gregory 
fell in love with the charming little beach town of San Clemente, where they 
resided since 1986. John Gregory loved his morning walks to the pier, playing 
golf, watching baseball, traveling with family and friends, and watching his 
kids and grandkids grow up. While continuing to work at Fluor, he and Soon 
spent a couple years living in South Africa and Canada before settling back 
down in San Clemente. Him and Soon also enjoyed spending time at their second 
home in Henderson, Nevada. After 43 years of working at Fluor Daniel, John 
Gregory retired.

John Gregory was a kind, honest, generous, and hard working man with a quiet 
and gentle spirit. He is survived by his wife of 41 years, Soon, his children 
Anna Swartz (Eric), Kim Farina (Franky), Ben Lower (Lara), and his ten 
beautiful grandchildren. He is incredibly loved and will be deeply missed.

Celebration of Life on May 4, 2019, in San Clemente, CA.

In Lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to the City of 
Hope.
