As a young man he won the Western Golden Gloves Welterweight boxing championship, played professional baseball in Oakland during the depression and owned and operated his own construction company for more than 30 years in Seattle, WA with his brother, "Buck" (Quentin Alonzo Lowe) aka Alfred Lowe, who preceded him in death.
