My condolences to the family. Continue to rely on God during this difficult time and know that he hears your prayers: Isaiah 59:1.
To the Owens family,
I wanted to share a belated but heartfelt note as I have heard of Jack's passing. Jack was kind to a young GSO when I first joined USAID in 1979. I recall his guidance and his caring way of how we should deliver quality adminstrative, contracting and logistical services to our colleagues as they delivered their best in carrying out our USAID development objectives.
I will always remember him and his leadership and will keep him and you in my thoughts and prayers,
Dear Fran and Family,
You have my deepest sympathy on the loss of Jack,. My prayers and thoughts are with you during this difficult time. Jack was a man of great integrity and high principle and he had the respect and admiration of all those who worked with him. And for those of us who also called him "friend", we were truly blessed and will miss him greatly. And, for you, although you will miss him tremendously, always know that he not only loved you deeply and profoundly, but he also had enormous respect and admiration for you. He always glowed when he talked of your many contributions to his life. May God grant you peace and comfort, knowing that he is at rest after a life well lived. Warm Regards, Carol McGraw
Dear Aunt Fran and family,
Our deepest sympathies to you all on the passing of Uncle Jack. Nancy and I had an opportunity to visit with you both and Steve and Georgeanne's family a couple of years ago. Uncle Jack was a gracious host; showing us around the complex where you live and driving us to Steve and Georgeanne's for supper that night. His love and pride in his family was very obvious to us. You are all in our thoughts and prayers.
Robbie and Nancy
Please accept our deepest condolences on the loss a very great person, leader and government executive. He was my supervisor in 1988-1989 and I recall him with fond memories as being unflappable, fair and enlightened. May we all cherish his life with vivid memories.
