I was thinking about Owen, but now Gene too, and realize we are all getting moved up closer to the top of the list.. whew..!


I'm very sad about Owen's passing. He was a good friend, colleague, even a competitor at times, and was always a gentleman and just a great guy to deal with and talk to. He did a LOT to help and promote our crazy little community and he will definitely be missed.  R.I.P. Owen..

Its always a shame to have this type of message pass over my screen. I first
met Owen at the "before Pack Rats VHF conference" Friday evening dinner. If
I remember correctly, Gene Zimmerman was also in attendance. Quality
entertainment if I must say...
Yes, he will be missed.

Very sad news, Terry. I was honored to consider Owen as a friend. Always
generous with his time and help.  I think we talked on the phone more than
via radio.  Owen will be missed.

silent key today. Owen was a big part of the K8GP operation since the late
90's and will be missed along with his BIG signal from FM18. He was an
accomplished EME'er from the early 80's on 70cm.
