March 8, 2023

We have many fond memories of time spent with Debbie & Owen in college & early years of marriage, camping, canoeing & travel to the Kentucky Derby. At the derby, we were in the infield. Deb & I saw the races as we were on the shoulders of Owen & Jerry. It was a spur of the moment trip, driving from MSP to Louisville on a weekend! Crazy college kids we were! Owen & Jerry bought canoes together at a camping show in MSP. If you bought one, you got the second one discounted. So “ the boys” thought that was a good deal! We did do a fair amount of canoeing & camping together on the Mississippi River. Good times! Owen was best man at our wedding & Jerry was at Debbie & Owen’s. With distance & both us having growing families our meeting changed. But we cherish the good times we shared. I could go on, like the skunk under the picnic table when we were camping, but you get the idea.🙂Our deepest sympathy to all that grieve the loss of Debbie. We will cherish the memories we made with Debbie & Owen.
