Death of Owen Garriott

"Somehow I missed the announcement of his passing. He was special to me because I was the first person to intercept his 2 meter HAM radio broadcast from the Space Shuttle Columbia. I received a coveted QRL card from him (W5LFL) after submitting my report to the ARRL. SCAN magazine also published a four page account of the event and a copy of my recording of the event was played at the Air and Space Museum during the 1985 National Boy Scout Jamboree. My condolences to his family. I will never forget my encounter with this hero. KB7YTP"

"What an awesome experience to be part of history as Mr. Garriott has been. An unforgettable moment. I express my condolences to his family, fellow astronaut family and his dear friends.
Just as God knows all the stars and doesn't forget them, God will not forget Mr. Garriott.
Psalm 147:4"

"I would like to express my deepest condolences to the family for the loss of your loved one, who will be remembered for his contribution to history and science. May you find comfort and strength in God during this time of sorrow."

"Sincere condolences to the family and friends of Mr. Garriott. May the God of all comfort sustain each of you in this difficult time."

"Sincere condolences on your loss of such an accomplished loved one, Owen. His legacy will live on and eases the sorrow. God will comfort and sustain you during this difficult time because he cares about you. (1 Peter 5:6,7)"
