OWEN, Alan Robert George 1919 - 2003 Passed away at Cross Bow on January 18 peacefully in his sleep, after fifty-one happy years with his loved and loving wife Iris. Also left, is his son Robin who he was so proud of, and his prospective daughter-in-law Sara and her sons, Shaun, Christopher and Matthew. George loved Robin and Sara dearly and was so looking forward to their wedding. George graduated from Trinity College, Cambridge, England with an M.A. in mathematics and a Ph.D. in Genetics. During the Second World War he worked for the Admiralty designing radar aerials for the British Navy. Later, he worked as a geneticist with the late Sir R.A. Fisher and taught at the University of Cambridge for twenty years before moving to Canada in 1970 to take a special research position in Toronto. He also taught in the departments of Zoology and Epidemiology at the University of Toronto. George had a very inquiring mind and had an interest in, and an extensive knowledge of, many diverse subjects. Of recent years he much enjoyed the fellowship of the Oddfellows and Rebekahs, and was secretary of his lodge for some years. He was a kind, dear, loving man who touched and enriched so many people's lives in so many ways. He will be sorely missed. No flowers by special request.

Dr. A.R.G Owen describes various experiments conducted to test the PK faculty of Matthew Manning and Uri Geller in June 1974.
Dr. A.R.G. Owen, secretary of the Cambridge Psychial Research Society was brought in by Matthew Manning's father to investigate.
Modern testimony of the The Theatre Royal hauntings comes from Alfred Charles Tanner, who was interviewed about his sightings in 1966 by Dr. A. R. G. Owen, the distinguished Cambridge parapsychologist.
God did not grant us the chance to meet upon this earth,
We did not speak, nor see each other's faces,
We did not know the sound of each others laughter
Nor wipe away each others tears.
Our hands did not grasp in that friendship of one who respects
another,
But I would change that if I could,
For one day of laughter, mixed with joyful tears,
For one day of quiet talk.
For one good meal,
With someone I did not meet,
But who was and will always be a friend,
And who will be that friend I know when I pass this veil into the next.
"A stranger is a friend I have yet to meet."
My thoughts and prayers for Iris and Robin. - Evelynne M. Ritter
