Owen you were a gentleman that always would help a friend. A true craftsman with construction equipment. A passion for your profession and you did it with the utmost skill. Always a compassion to help other people. You will be truly missed by many who were luck to know you. You also were blessed with a son who was your best friend and never left your side. Sorry for your great loss Mark and Robin. Rest in peace Owen.

Uncle Owen was the sweetest man. Always kind to everyone and took a vested interest in us kids especially when were growing up. I loved him as did my dad, Dean. They shared a closeness which I'm glad I was able to witness. Rest well Uncle Owen. Love, "Meem" (Lisa Stone---Dean's youngest) ❤ My heart goes out to Mark, Laurie and Robin
