Stanley Paul Owen Ph.D.

When I think of Stan, I can't help but grin from ear to ear. He and Ev, met our family at the train station in Kalamazoo, MI when my parents and sisters emigrated to the U.S. from the Netherlands in 1957. Prior to that, Stan and my father were part of a small, but very “lively” group of four or five budding scientists studying Microbiology at the University of Wisconsin in Madison, and they, and their wives, remained lifelong friends. Stan and a couple of others in that circle of friends...

I had the pleasure of knowing Stan through his work with the Fort Nisqually Advisory Council. His thoughtful comments, insight and generous support of the fort's efforts were always appreciated. He was truly a good and kind man. I am grateful that I had the opportunity to know him.

I had the pleasure of working with Stan on the board of the Fort Nisqually Living History Museum, a restored Hudson's Bay Company post that was one of his many interests. His presence and contributions benefited the fort and its visitors greatly. Stan was a gentle, kind, intelligent, principled, and engaging man and a wonderful friend. He was the embodiment of what it means to be a gentleman and a scholar. It was a privilege to know him. My sincere condolences and best wishes to Stan's family.
