I was saddened to hear of Owen´s passing. He was a personality amongst the Taranaki squash scene and still managed to play at the Kawaroa Park Tuesday Old Timers group even with his illness. Owen represented CD at the NZ Masters some years ago now and he was a great team mate.
Our condolences to his partner,Janet and his extended family.

So sorry to read about Owens passing. Our thoughts are with Janet and the family. memories of the times when Owen and Janet were neighbours at Huirangi. Owen did a lot of digger and bulldozer work for me. He was an incredible digger, bully operator. Also remember playing social squash in Owens neighbours team at Inglewood.

So sorry to learn of Owen's passing. Such a great mentor to many at the Inglewood Squash Club - so many laughs together. A mean operator of the digger that knew how to do things properly. Rest easy Bunny - thanks for the memories.

I am so sorry to read about Owen´s passing , I was very lucky to have a laugh and chat about the past with Owen when he was in Summerset . Diggers play a big part in Tony and Marcus life and having a laugh with Owen gave Marcus the idea of giving a Tonka digger when Owen was in care,they always had a great chat and a laugh with Owen
To the family we are very sorry for your loss. Taranaki has lost a amazing a heavy machinery operator.
