George W. Owens

John and I miss George so very much but cherish all our memories of time with him. Such a good man.

My memory of George remains steadfast--he was a true gentleman.

I know it has been some time since George went to heaven, but I was reminded of him as I slept last night. I worked with George for several months; we became close friends during that time. Bottom line is that he was, indeed, a true gentleman, loyal, supportive, and a blessing. I pray that the peace and comfort of the Lord Jesus continue to be with his wife and family. I was blessed to have known him.

The one word I always think of when I remember George is that he was a true "gentleman." I always enjoyed working with him. He is remembered.

George was a colleague and friend and often gave me good advice--some of which I took and some of which I did not, but should have. He is remembered. Dan King

Dear Tess, Val and Greg, I remember so well George's ready smile. It's rare to find someone so genuinely happy all the time. Although it's been decades since those days in Avalon, PA, when you were in town to visit. I truly enjoyed when you were there and I found George to be delightful and always smiling. May God bless and comfort all of us.

I worked for George during his time in Bonn, Germany and benefitted from his influence throughout the rest of my career. He was someone that I looked up to and who kindly took the time to provide advice, both personal and professional. He exemplified the American dream coming out of humble beginnings in Pittsburgh and excelling to the senior executive level in one of the most competitive agencies in government. Even then, he never forgot his roots and treated everyone with kindness and...

I have the best memories from our times in Washington and in Bonn together. We worked hard and we played hard. George and Tess even hosted a lovely dinner when my parents visited Bonn!! My parents talked about that for years...and I still do! They were so impressed and happy!! I learned so much from George over the years and am grateful for everything. My sincere sympathy to Tess, Valerie, Greg, and families. I believe God has a special place for George. Hugs, prayers and love to all.

I remember George's big smile and dedication to OP. He was a hard worker, supportive colleague and mentor to many. Tess, blessings and strength to you and your family.
