Settling in the San Fer- nando Valley, he and Ev- elyn had two children, daughter Cheri and son Randy. Sadly, Randy died as an adolescent — an ac- cidental death that Owen mourned deeply the rest of his life. A baby boy, Scott, was adopted in 1967. Owen was passionate about his work and has credits on hundreds of films and television shows, working on classic films such as “Ben Hur,” “Papil- lon,” “Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore,” “King Kong,” “Loved Me Tender,” “The Greatest Story Ever Told,” “How the West Was Won,” “The Towering In- ferno” and “Uptown Satur- day Night.” He was among a handful of founding members who established the Society of Camera Operators. Owen served as the nonprofit’s inaugural president from 1979-81 and received its Lifetime Achievement Award in 1992. Retiring in 1990, he and Evelyn found their way to Florence, Ore., as ear- ly residents in Florentine Estates, where they lived happily for just short of 30 years. Owen took up retire- ment with enthusiasm, be- coming active in Florentine Estates aesthetics, playing bridge in the clubhouse, installing a beautiful Japa- nese garden in their back yard, and volunteering at the Florence Chamber of Commerce, where he raved to visitors about his new hometown. He took up ceramics and bonsai cultivation with zest, at one point having over 300 plants. He also self-published, a humorous memoir of his movie mak- ing days titled Parking Lots I’ve Eaten In and several poetry collections.
