Not sure what to say?

On the anniversary of Uncle Tom's passing, I reach out to the entire family with continued love and prayers.

Tom was my mother's attorney. He was a man of honor! He was also beyond honest, and a kind, gentle person. We were privileged to know him through my mom and with various meetings with him after her death. Our heartfelt condolences to his family!

I am so sorry to hear of Tom's passing. I had the great pleasure to work for Tom at Dickinson Wright and later to share office space with him. He was a fine individual and attorney. We enjoyed discussing his and my mother's love of Elvis. My deepest sympathy to his entire family..

We regret we only had the pleasure being with Tom on a few occasions and found him to be a wonderful person. He was very passionate about his love for his sister, Jane, and the rest of his family. Jane, my best friend for 50 years, loved her brother with all her heart and will miss him so very much. It is hard to find the right words at a time like this...after 50 years, I think sometimes words are not needed. It is the love in the heart that knows what is felt.

Tom Owen was thoughtful and intelligent, always wearing a sense of fortitude in his quiet glances. He was dapper and unassuming, and could recite poems by Poe, memorized from his boyhood memories.

I am so saddened to hear of Uncle Tom's passing and reach out in love and prayers to all of the family, especially his beloved best friend and wife, Pete. My most sincere condolences to you all. I have many very fond memories of Uncle Tom growing up.....one of them was learning to "gamble" with him - what a hoot he was with a young girl!!! And he made me "take" the money when he lost.....

We were so sorry to learn of Tom's passing. He was a good friend and we did a lot with his family growing up. You will be in thoughts and prayers. Jim and Mary Johnson, Leesburg, Florida

I worked for Tom years ago, and my life is so much richer for having known him. Love 'ya buddy.

To Vince and family. We are so sorry to hear of Tom's death. He was not just a family attorney but a friend. He will be missed. You will all be in our thoughts and prayers. God Bless all of you.
