Eulogy to Owen - My notes - Sunnyside Cemetery Coupeville WA July 2022

  I am here to Celebrate Owen as a brother uncle and friend   I'm going to talk about his life and my part in it in a random order so bear with me . I will answer questions later . 2 ½ years older - different friends He was a kind soul occasionally he was a bit grumpy but never any malice .Looking back he has Asperger's but then he was simply regarded as a bit shy He once spent a whole hour in a model shop because he was too shy to ask for what he wanted as others were in the shop We were Not that close but always enjoyed a family life shared . We first Lived in a part rental property No2 Broxash road with our first Nigerian tenants The reason our family has prospered is that both my parents were only children and as my father wanted to be a writer they invested in cheap ( at that time ) property which they could rent out for an income . Arnold actually worked out that those old houses over the years actually put on more value that all the money he made working .
