There were several times when i had to turn around and look at the picture thinking I heard Gnu speak. I know because I spent a very enjoyable evening a few years back with him and have spoke to him a good number of time on the phone.

Every visit in the past two months, Chic's wife remarked how much I look like him and sound like him. Spitting image, she said. I spoke to few of the nurses at the hospital during my visits and found out today they thought I was his son and that my cousins were my brothers.

Damn fine compliment was my reply every time as we Owens's are not just good lookin, we are full of it... Irish charm, of course.

Beer... thank YOU for that same compliment. I'll never be half the man that Chic (or my father) was but I am nearly there by their teachings and knowing their actions. I know you understand that in a personal way. Thank you for that as well.
