A virtual memorial will be held this Friday, May 8 at 10 am to honor the life of Richard "Omar" Lowry, who passed away Monday morning after a long battle with illness.
The virtual event will include the lowering of the Hillcrest Pride Flag to half staff in Lowry's honor. Lowry was a trailblazer in San Diego's LGBT community, being elected the first emperor of the Imperial Court de San Diego in 1973.
