I cannot believe that the kids are already 3 years old and getting ready to start pre-school. I still remember Tom telling me that you called him to find out why he was at the hospital the day out daughter was born. You and your family is always in my thoughts.

A.J.,
I just wanted you to know I think about you often, and after a five year wait, I finally made it! Can you believe it, a cop at the same district where I use to book your prisoners as an I.G. Carlos and I knew you must of had a hand in our hiring process from above! We went into the academy 10-23-06, not to long after your tragic day. Your video chokes me up every time I see it. Please continue watching all of us sisters and brothers in blue, and we will try to continue your remarkable service on Earth. It's been a long time since I've left that first reflection, but you will never be forgotten. Your always and forever a hero in my eyes! Rest now and keep smiling.

Jon: God bless you and your family. I know you only as a good guy. I knew you as a younger one...played little leauge with you a few times on your team...and then Penn Hills '87 high school days. You were one of a kind. Some gave all, All gave some. Thank you for your service. You gave All...I thank you for that. I wish I could have known you after Penn Hills days. You are still in my memory either way.-- An old friend, Carey Haddick.

hey aj. its been two years now. i just thinking back on how i got a phone call from my uncle asking if i knew who the officer was. of course i called don, dan, bob, everybody. their phones were all busy. it was the absolute worst feeling to have. you were the last person that i thought this would have happened to. we still talk about you when we get together. you, amy, and eric are never far from our thoughts. we still have good laughs thinking some of the goofy stories.just wanted to let you know we have not forgotten you. by the way i am still rooting against the steelers on september 14!!!

As I read all the report of Officer Owens death and as I pray that his family finds the strength they need to get through this difficult time, I can't stop the sadness I feel about your senseless death. We all miss you so much. Not a day goes by that I don't think of you.
