Hello Scanlons of Scottsdale. I caught this article by happenstance. My condolences to one and all. Although I’m glad you’re all doing well in life it’s always sobering when you lose someone close to share it all with. I hope your dad Owen Sr is faring ok and that he’s enjoying the grandkids. My parents are both gone, Mom in 05 and Dad in 08. Life is never quite the same without them but, lo and behold, we’re the next generation that carries the torch. Keep well and prosperous in the meantime.
