It's with great sadness that we acknowledge the passing of one of our most loyal patrons, Rick Owen.

Rick was a familiar face at the Criterion for many years. He loved a handle of Reschs and a Saturday punt. He was a valued part of the Criterion Family and will be greatly missed by staff and fellow patrons alike.

Our heartfelt condolences go out to Rick's family and friends. We are thinking of you all during this difficult time.

You'll be sadly missed by everyone at the Cri. Rest in peace.
