Ronald K. Owens, age 75 of Wayne, died on Friday August 28, 2009 at the Christian Health Care Center in Wyckoff, NJ, after complications following a recent stroke. His family was by his side.

Ronald was born in New York, NY and grew up in the Bronx. He moved to Pompton Lakes at age 18. He worked for the Continental Can company as a supervisor for most of his career.

He had lived a short time in Packanack Lake before moving to the Pines Lake section of Wayne where he lived for nearly thirty years.

Ronald was very health-conscious and athletic. He loved the outdoors, gardening and landscaping, and especially tennis. He was a charter member of the Wayne Racquet Club and played matches up and down the East Coast of the U.S. with the United States Tennis Association. He was ranked as high as third in the USTA Eastern Section for his age bracket and was frequently ranked in the top five. He was also a very loving and devoted husband, father and grandfather. He was very family oriented and his wife, children and grandchildren were the light of his life.

Ronald is survived by his beloved wife; Mary Jane of Wayne, one daughter; Jennifer Gaddis and husband William of Wayne, two sons; Gregory Owens and wife Lyle of Wayne, and Glenn Owens and wife Norma of Wayne, one brother; Gerald Owens and wife Mary of Barnegat, NJ, as well as four grandchildren; Gregory Owens Jr., Charles Owens, Christina Owens and Nathan Gaddis, all of Wayne.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations to the National Arbor Day Foundation would be greatly appreciated. www.arborday.org/shopping/tictim/TIMSample.cfm
