The Minnewaska Area High School gymnasium was filled to capacity for the funeral service for fallen Pope County Deputy Josh Owen.  The auditorium and an auxiliary gym provided more seating for those who wanted to attend.  The service took place both inside the school, then was continued outside where canine units assembled with their canine officers.  Josh worked with canine officer, Karma, in Pope County.  Signs and blue lights were displayed all over the county during the week of Josh’s funeral.  After the services at the school a procession moved through downtown Glenwood with hundreds of local residents lining Minnesota Avenue to show support for Josh Owen, his family, Pope County law enforcement officers and all law enforcement.  Minnewaska Area school students made posters as a tribute to Josh that lined the walls at the school for the service.
