Richard Owens, helped launch building firm
As children, Richard Owens and his brothers used to scrounge for lumps of coal along the railroad tracks to heat their home.
But they promised themselves that a better life lay ahead and Pete, Leroy and Richard later formed their own home-building firm in Erlanger: Owens Brothers Builders.
Today, many of their brick houses and office buildings can be found in Northern Kentucky, particularly in the Erlanger and Florence areas.
"He was a pillar of strength," said Mr. Owens' youngest daughter, Dotty Pyle of Burlington. "He was mischievous and funny, yet strong and fearless. Dad was a good father. He ruled with strength and a loud voice."

"He just worked real hard all of his life," Mrs. Pyle said. "He and his brothers trapped furs when they were younger to buy groceries. It was a hard life but an interesting life."
Mr. Owens was a strong Catholic who didn't fear death, his daughter said.
"This parting is just temporary for all of us," Mrs. Pyle said. "We know we will have him again."
Other survivors include his wife, Edith L. Baxter Owens; a son, Richard W. Owens of Burlington; daughters, Alma D. Byrd of Crittenden, Betty Jo Noble of Murray and Pat Emerson of Walton;14 grandchildren and 19 great-grandchildren.
