In 1973 he became a special agent with Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Company, achieving recognition as a member of The Million Dollar Round Table.
He served his community well as president of the Lions Club, commander of the VFW and a faithful member of Belmond United Methodist Church where he sang in the choir for thirty years. He was known for being an active man, never one for sitting, and was always busy, enjoying hunting, fishing, golf and tennis. After his oldest son Brian made him a replica of a PVI Ventura, the plane he flew in World War II in the South Pacific, Owen was inspired to make models of the plane himself. He devoted countless hours to this project and constructed nearly one hundred copies of that plane. He honored each of the surviving members of his squadron with a replica to commemorate their service to our country.
Owen was a devoted husband and father who will be greatly missed and always loved by his wife, Doris Bee; daughter, Susan; sons, Brian and Robert; and daughters-in-law, Janet and Sue. He was a wonderful grandfather to Brian’s children, Brea and Blake; and Robert’s children, James (wife Natalia), Jill and Julie. He was blessed to be the great-grandfather of Zachary, Isaac, Soleis, and Sienna, the children of Brea and her husband, Rob Reeger; and Alexander, the son of Jill and her husband, Sam Kruger.
He is preceded in death by his parents and two brothers.

On Feb. 8, 1997, David wed Adrienne Kroll. Their life was blessed not just once, but twice, by two wonderful boys, Alex,10, and Ben, 7.
David loved spending time with his family. He especially enjoyed taking Alex and Ben to car and tractor shows, and just simply stopping along a construction site so the boys could watch all the big equipment at work.
When David couldn’t be found with the boys at his side, he would be located in his Shack, where he was an Amateur Ham Radio professional. When David turned 14, he passed his first ham radio test. From then on his love for the radio has lead to numerous awards. Recently David received one of the most prestigious awards given to ham operators. Radio professionals from all over the world talk of David’s love and knack for the profession. KTOR (David’s Call Letters) have become a silent key and will be missed by many for years to come....
David was a very caring, loving person that always had a smile on his face. His friends, family and love for radio brought much joy to David’s life.
On Sept. 18, the heavens opened up and accepted another Angel; he will always be missed and treasured by his family and friends.
David is survived by his wife, Adrienne; sons, Alex and Ben; parents, Kenneth and Joanne Ranney; grandmother, Audrey Hewitt; sisters, Susan Pyle, Cheryl Trappe, Sarah Bruce and Charlotte Ranney; and many other family and friends too numerous to mention.
