Obituaries

So very sorry to learn of the passing of our neighbor and friend, George Owens. We remember when he placed one of his favorite antiques in his front yard and came over to say that he had hoped that we wouldn't mind since it was not the most attractive item in his collection and would be directly outside our kitchen window! We not only didn't mind, but were very pleased to admire the ancient and storied firefighting apparatus of olden days. In fact it was often the subject of discussion when we had guests. We miss George already and extend our deepest sympathy to his family. Rest in Peace, George Dennis Owens.

Cousin Denny was the older brother I never had. We were always into something together. Building downhill racers, fishing in Maple lake, camping out in backyards, and squirrel hunting at uncle Ben's. As we got a bit older there was racing Go Carts, working on old cars, and fly fishing for trout up in the mountains. Our favorite spot was Shavers Fork off of rt. 250 on Cheat Mt. Never forget the day we both shot buck deer just after sunrise way up on the mountain. We finally got them out to the road just before dark. A few years ago I had the pleasure of fishing with Denny and D.J. for a week on the Kennabago R. here in Maine. Denny was a good person. He was smart, hard working and honest. He will be missed by all who knew him. "Happy Trails CUZ"
