Although I haven’t seen Uncle Owen in years, I remember him as a Hail-Fellow-Well-Met man. He was good-hearted and always knew how to have a good time. He was always available to help a friend or family member in need, in fact, and I believe he may have gotten up in the middle of the night and sprung my Dad out of the county jail once or twice. They were known to have a good time or two when they were young and working in the flooring industry. He always lived his best life. I remember when he met his wife Jeannie, she quickly became the love of his life. I didn’t know him in his old age, but I imagine he could still spin a good yarn. He enjoyed kids as much as he did adults. When we were kids he would pick my brother and I up and take us to the double and triple horror feature and the Palmer Drive-In. He would take us swimming and play tricks on us and teach us how to play poker-he would even let us win sometimes so we wouldn’t get bored or discouraged. When it was raining too much to go swimming, he could entertain us with magic tricks indoors. When I was five he let me sit on his lap and drive his car when we lived in the trailer park in Crownsville, Md. He also took us Trick-or-Treating then-in full costume himself(he would have been in his mid-twenties) and I still remember the GIANT head mask he had. Today he may be heaven bound, but I’m sure his grand children and great grand children have as many good memories of Owen, and enjoyed being around him as much as his nieces and nephews did back when we were all young.
To Tammy and family, my condolences and prayers. Unfortunately I cant leave Texas to attend his funeral, but would be there if I could and would enjoy celebrating the life of Uncle Owen and find out how his later life turned out. Maybe next time I get back to the area we can get a chance to catch up.
