We are still in shock to here of Owen's passing. I'm so glad I stopped by Craig's on Monday night and had the chance to see him. Owen and I grew up in the same block, Owen living on Murphy lk rd and I lived on Swaffer. We became best friends in the early 70's spending almost every day together. He would ride the tractor with me when I would plow and we would camp out a lot. We played softball for many years together he would pitch and I was the catcher. We hunted and trapped together we were always together. We rode the same school bus, we got in a lot of trouble together. I remember him pushing me through the back window of the school bus, I think his mother had to pay for that window. I met my wife Jeannie on the bus and then she became part of our gang. I would pick Owen up for school, when he decided to go, lol , then we'd pick up Jeannie and her sister and we all rode to school in my car. As time went on we all started our separate lives but we always stayed friends. We played a lot of cards and we partied hard. I will never forget the friendship that we had and I will miss him. Jeannie and I give our deepest sympathy to you Vicki and Wavis and the rest of your family Owen and Kimmy's family, Jimmy's family and Kelli and her family. You are all in our prayers.
