Mrs. Owen, Conny & Brian, Patrick & Gregory;
I feel a deep sadness to hear that Mr. Owen has passed away. My thoughts and prayers are with you as you go through this time and may you find comfort in those around you.
To me, he was truly a quiet giant with a wonderful voice. I remember visiting the house to see Conny and he would welcome me in. I had the pleasure of seeing him perform with the Police Chorus at the Manulife Center and waited to say hello after the performance. He will be missed by all who knew him.

Dear Owen family,
My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. I hope that you can draw on the wonderful memories that your family shared. I remember the trip to your family cottage and Santa's Village when I was around 11 years old with Sandra and Duane. We had so much fun.
Take care.

Hi...sad news...Bert was one of the better guys..not just in the police chorus but the force as well. We are both charter members of the chorus and I was always happy to sing bass with him. I know he will be missed by all of us who had the opportunity to meet him. So...on a happier note...
'Ring the bells of heaven
There is joy today
For a soul returning from the wild.
See the Master greets him
Out along the way
Welcoming His weary wandering child'.
To the rest of the family I say 'Amen'
