Owen Family, May you continue to share with each other memories of a wonderful father and grandpa. I had the pleasure of working with D.L. at Zimmerman (Royal) Buick and Quebedeaux Pontiac for many years. A true gentleman, respected by all. D.L. loved to talk about his wife and family. I'm sure Marge greeted him with "Tis Me" and their arms are around each other again. May God comfort you all.
