The father of Welsh boxing legend Johnny Owen has died.

Dick Owen, from Merthyr Tydfil, had been in and out of hospital after suffering a stroke.

I know his other son posts on here sometimes, would just like to pass on my sympathys to him and his family.

Yes, losing a loved one is very hard, especially at this time of year.

My sympathies to the family. Just over the 25 years since Johnny died.

My deepest condolences to Owain family :(

:(

It was just the other day i was reading part of the unofficial autobiography of johny which includes the tale of dick owen travelling to mexico to meet Lupe.

condolonces to the family.

Very sad news.

RIP Dick Owen,

I'm sorry to hear that, my condolences to the whole Owen family.

My condolences too, he came across very well on that documentary the BBC made. May he rest in pease, with John.

Very sad, RIP....

Terrible news.
Rest In Peace Dick Owen

Well at least he's finally at peace now, it was clear in that documentary that he never ever recovered from the death of his son.

Condolences to the Owens family...I'm not a church goer, but the rest of my family is and I always try to ask them to give a prayer request whenever I read about someone from the boxing community that may be in need, so the Owens family is in the prayers of my family!

On behalf of my family I would like to say a heartfelt "thanks" to everyone who has posted in this thread.

Thanks for your kind words and for thinking of us at such a difficult time; I really do appreciate you taking the time out to post your condolences.

You, all, have my utmost respect.

Thanks again.
