My baby girl was born 34 yrs. ago and should have been a happy time for her dad, myself, friends and family. But, she was born with a bilateral cleft lip and palate that I had sadly passed on to her.I couldn't stop crying,worrying, questions no one w/answers or info. All I knew for sure was I had lots of homework to do, tons of appts. years ahead of us.Dr. Owsley was my savior ! he did what other physicians could not do. His talent, knowledge, kind words and care he showed. Dr.Owsley ...

What an amazing human being. A great lose to family, friends and the community. May his memory and good will be eternal. Thoughts and prayers to all those who were blessed to know him

Dr. Owsley was a dedicated, kind and gentle physician, he will be missed. Not a day passes that I do not feel blessed to have been a patient of his as a child. The person I am today is truly the result of his exceptional talent and skill as a surgeon. What an amazing impact he had in the lives of so many. My thoughts and prayers to the family of this very kind soul.

With deepest sympathy.

Jack was my good friend and mentor from the time I was a medical student through my surgery and plastic surgery residencies at UCSF. I treasure the years we were together and am eternally grateful for his guidance and friendship. Jim Hamill, MD

I had the pleasure of working for Dr. Owsley. He was an artist, perfectionist and a snazzy dresser! His patients adored him and so did his staff! I learned so much from him! May he rest in peace! My only regret was that I was too young to have a Dr. Owsley facelift!

I had the privilege of being one of Doctor Owsley's patients starting at the age of 3 months, sadly he moved on to the other side but left me in great hands. I've seen many people who were not as lucky as I to have such a capable person to repair their lip/palate. It makes me very thankful that I had the opportunity and good fortune to have had a doctor like him to work on me. He was a gentle giant and I am forever grateful. RIP Dr. Owsley.

Dr Owsley was the best, I had him from the time I was 15 to when I had two children born with cleft palete,I was so heart broken when he went into the other side of the business.But I never forgot him I ran into him a couple of times and that look came to him looking at me and I could see his mind working double time always asking me was I happy with each surgery that I had every summer .I can say first handed his work was perfect.I love this Man .May he rest in peace .My heart is hurting...
