Belated condolences to the Owens family. Your father was always the kindest person and a great neighbor. Like you said about my mother, Quiet Road won't be the same without him. Every time I'd come home to visit my mom, he'd be sure to stop and chat with me about my family and share how proud he was of his own family. And he especially loved talking to me and my daughter about her experiences as a student at the University of Notre Dame. I'll always remember him with fondness.

We are so sorry for the loss of your father. He was a wonderful neighbor to my mom for over 55 years, and never complained about a thing (when he certainly could have at times!). He was a kind man with a gentle soul. May he Rest In Peace with your mother after all of these years apart.
Best regards,
Linda & Dave Wainwright

I loved coming to visit. There was always calm music playing and he was so inviting. It was my favorite part of the day.

May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind always be at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
and rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.
Thank you for everything, Dad.
