This was shocking to see that Owen passed away. I always enjoyed my interaction with Owen about the stock market, economy and politics. Very smart guy who took after his father! The Koehnen ohana was always so good to me and my family from the time we were tenants in the Koehnen's building till the day we left Hilo. My sincere condolences and prayers go out to Mrs. Koehnen a very sweet lady, brother Randy and sister Carol. Aloha. John Kai
My deepest and sincere sympathies go out to the Koehnen Ohana at this sad time. My relation with Owen goes back from 1976 - 1978 when he probably just got out of the Navy and making use of his G.I. bill benefits by attending Hawaii Community College in Machine Shop Technology. Unfortunately, I never got to work as a Machinist and I saw Owen working for the U.S. Postal Service. Those were fun times in our youth. It shocked me to see he passed when just a few weeks ago last month I ran in to him at Home Depot shopping around. Life is very short and we must enjoy each day for each day is a blessing. My prayers and condolences are with you at this sad time. God bless you all.
Aloha,
