An accomplished golfer, Dow played at Rainier Golf & Country Club in Seattle and O'Donnell Golf Club in Palm Springs where he was the club champion in 2009, 2010 and 2011. Dow was a wonderful companion to a generous gathering of family, high school, college and business friends. He was a very humorous and giving person, a voracious reader and an avid traveler. He will be missed by his employees and all that knew his loyalty, sincerity and honesty. Dow participated in several-philanthropic organizations including many years as a Big Brother, but his great love was youth sport s. He would have appreciated any remembrances be directed to his friend, Father Jose Millan of St. Anthony's Parrish, Holy Trinity Catholic School, 2315 N Cedar Street, Spokane, WA 99205. Trinity School is building a new, much needed gymnasium to benefit grades K - 12 and Dow supported this endeavor and Fr. Jose's efforts to fund the project.
