Tina, I am so glad I had the opportunity to meet your dad. He kept us laughing. He talked to everyone. I will miss him.

What a perfect picture of Mr. Owens. That is how I will always remember him his smile, his jokes and stories, and his most of all his love and pride in his family. Tina, I know you and your Dad had such a special bond and he took such pride in you and his boys! He was such a dear and I loved the nicknames he came up with for us. I'm so glad he came to Sanders. I'm sorry I can't attend the services but please know you are constantly in my thoughts and prayers.
