We have so many fond memories of Owen & Jan when we lived in Torrey. They will be missed. Brenda & Hank Winawer

One of my favorite law professors at the University of Utah College of Law, 1974-75. He was an entertaining and knowledgeable teacher who knew everyone´s name by sight on the first day of his Property II class of 50 plus students. Over the years, as a practicing lawyer and Utah State District Court trial judge, I´ve thought about and appreciated how and what he taught me personally.

A wonderful tribute. Thanks be to those who contributed. Owen's father Roy was the Stake President for 29 years of the Millard Stake. At their home, up the street, we spent many hours playing in the backyard, and across the street at LeGrands basketball court. A great "family legend"

His was a remarkable presence on the legal landscape, and...

I was blessed to be able to grow up in the same neighborhood in Fillmore with Owen Olpin and his three brothers. They were four of the finest men anyone could ever be around, always setting a good example for other kids. Jim Jackson, Layton Utah
