John YOUNG Obituary

Thank you Heather for putting the obituary in the Teviot Bulletin. Owen and Margaret used to visit us, staying with us in the Commercial Hotel on their nostalgic visits `home´. Owen used to go rabbiting, fishing and visiting his high apricot orchard, and told us stories of his youth. A kind, caring man. I´m sorry we had lost touch and send you our sympathy on your loss of both parents. God bless you all. (PS Caithness is no longer a working orchard- trees gone.)

Owen was a dearly loved cousin and our families were very close. I have great memories of both Owen and Margaret who was a dearly loved cousin friend from schooldays. My deep condolences to you all. I am so sorry I was not able to make it to Christchurch. I know he will be greatly missed by you all. May God´s peace be with you.
With love, Catherine Dickie.

Sad to hear of Owen Young's passing. As a child and young person I spent many happy times in the Young family home, as I am a close friend of Jill. Mr Young was always friendly, fun and kind. He was a very special person. I also worked for him in the school holidays when I was about 14 or 15. I later went on to train to be an accountant myself after this experience. Lots of love to all the family.

Owen, as I knew him, was a remarkable man. He was my accountant for many years before his retirement. I will remember him as humble man, solid in his advice, and thorough in his work. After retirement he was secretary to my father´s charitable trust. This is something he did without any recompense. He was a true gentleman. My sympathies to his family. Sir David Carter.

My sympathy to you in your loss - and also that of your mother not long ago. My first job was with Y&H and it was a very happy time. One Christmas there was a box of chocolates and Mr Young said that I and the other staff member could have half each - so he put it on the office guillotine and cut it in half! He also taught me to drive his automatic car - which was a bit traumatic as it was brand new - however I didn't damage it!! No doubt you have many happy memories. Best wishes Leigh
