I remember Mr. Chang's sweet and gentle manner whenever he visited the Reference Desk of the Pennsauken Free Public Library. He loved to share news of his family and was always so pleasant. I pray the Lord's peace and comfort for his family and loved ones. Maira Diaz, Reference Librarian

Owen Chang will live in my heart and be in my prayers forever. I will never forget the Christmas night he sat with me in Dunkin Donuts drinking tea so I would not be alone. He saved my life that night. He will be remembered with love and respect, he was a very good man and a true friend. XoxoxoRuthiexoxoxoxox
