It was an honor to knoow Owen. From the time we met in the 8th grade to when he attended our class reunion in 2006, a time too quickly passed, such is life. What a man God will have. I hope to see you, one day again, Owen.
Your Friend,

The family and Charlotte have my deepest sympathy. Owen was a great friend and fellow classmate from the WCHS Class of '60 . I'll never forget our class trip to New York City the morning after the Graduation Ceremonies with Owen furnishing the libations that lasted almost to Dover, DE. May your soul rest in peace.
