I learned yesterday of the passing of an old friend. Malcolm Owen and his late wife Vicky, a college friend of mine, were our introduction to Madison County. In early years, we often traded work days. Their older son and Ethan were classmates throughout school, and we often socialized.
Malcolm was a talented old-time fiddler and a member of the early Fuzzy Mountain String Band. He was also a loving and compassionate caregiver for Vicky during her struggle with dementia.
In recent years, he had moved away from of our community towork in Burnsville. We had not been in touch in some while but his passing leaves an emptiness in our hearts.
