Daily News | Lowell A. Toenniessen, retired longtime Inquirer reporter and editor, has died at 89
, Gene Foreman, retired managing editor at The Inquirer, said: “Lowell was a steady, reliable, wholesome presence in The Inquirer’s lineup of editors who actually produced the daily editions. I salute him as a talented colleague and friend.”and called him “patient, understanding, and wise beyond measure.”
After short stints at the Saratogian in Saratoga Springs, N.Y., and Daily Local News in West Chester, Mr. Toenniessen worked as a sportswriter and editor in the early 1960s at the Binghamton Press in New York. He became sports editor at the local rival Sun-Bulletin in 1962. Mr. Toenniessen may have been soft-spoken as an editor, but he wasn’t shy about adding drama to some of his own stories. He opened a 1960 article in the Press about a high school football game with: “You could describe it as murder, mayhem, or massacre, that 50-6 whipping Elmira Southside administered to Central yesterday afternoon.”
He and his wife had daughters Linda, Katie, and JoAnna, and son Mat, and lived in Binghamton, Ardmore, and Drexel Hill. His wife died in 2022.
