I’m honoured to be able to leave a short message of condolence to Owen.

I was Owen’s ‘boss’ when he worked at PwC and I will forever remember him for his wry humour. I recal, for example, l the time he delivered a subtle, slagging to me as I had seemingly made a miraculous, but temporary, recovery from a bout of illness to be able to attend a full hospitaility Take That concert – he might have been more forgiving if it had been the Goo Goo Dolls!

Owen was a tremendously hard worker and I was always comforted when one of ‘my’ jobs was assigned to Owen’s safe pair of hands.

My colleagues have already mentioned his legendary skills with a spreadsheet; he was generally a master at anything to do with IT and he helped me on more than one occasion to pull together a presentation with suitably doctored images for our annual TAXi awards.

Owen was a very popular guy and testament to this was the frienships he retained with his his former colleagues after they and he left PwC.

My condolences to Owen’s wife and children – you can be proud of your husband and daddy.
