Regarding Robert G. Lowery, Sr.. Lowery was one of the people that helped found the Florissant's "Walk Through History" plaque program, as he was inspired by University City's St. Louis Walk of Fame. He told Patch Media reporter, "We're the most historic city in St. Louis County as far as I'm concerned." He spoke at nearly all dedication ceremonies during his term as Mayor of Florissant (starting in 2008).

Lowery's son, Tim, was elected Mayor of Florissant on April 3, 2019. Like his father, he was Florissant's Police Chief before becoming mayor.
