I heard his beautiful voice many times with my dad’s guitar
in the Colonel Leonard’s Irregulars. Maybe they are tuning
up together again right now. The house band just got a lot
better up there. Fantastic tribute.

He was a genuinely kind person who did so many interesting things. Truly a life well-lived. It was an honor to know him.

My sympathies to his family, and thanks for sharing their great pictures of him. This was a great article.

I say this becaus I only knew him as a welcoming smile and dutiful person who was always there to help us enjoy the Mainstay. Never in a million years would I have guessed how talented and competent was this humanitarian. We will all miss him into the ages. Again thank you to this fine medium for bringing to all of us Owen’s Story.

He sang in the choir and was a stalwart member of the congregation, always willing to help do anything. He had so many fingers in so many pies in Chestertown and Rock Hall that his death is a tremendous loss to the entire comminity. Also, he greeted everyone he encountered with a kind, avuncular smile. His pictures so clearly portray his soul and if I had not known him I would have wished I had.
Condolences to his family and may he rest in peace and rise in glory as his voice fills the heavens.

Personally, I will miss his wit and personally, he was a true character and a one of a kind. The world was better because he was here. I went by his location at the Farmer’s Market today and noticed the vacant slot and was reminded of his loss to everyone.

We have been in Chestertown just over a year, and I enjoyed bantering with Owen and pulling his leg about Cornell, which I know. He was genial, funny, and enjoyed pulling my leg about my Ulster origins. Love the market and it will be sad not to see his positive presence. Obviously a man who led a full and meaningful life not just in this area but Costa Rica, which I did not know. RIP. Condolences to his family.
