His accomplishments were many. In 44 years with the ymca he was a champion of volunteerism, youth programs, fitness programs. The list goes on but the real measure...he was a listener, a mentor, a competitor, a storyteller, a leader and a friend. His passion was to bring out the best in people and make them better than they believed they could be. What a legacy and what an inspired life. Gone but not to be forgotten.
At his request there will be no service and for those that are inclined, a donation may be made to the Bill and Eleanor Owen Vancouver YMCA youth fund c/o YMCA of greater Vancouver endowment fund.
Fond memories and expressions of sympathy may be shared at www.firstmemorialnorthvancouver.com for the Owen family.
