TitanTiger 20,406 Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 Pulled from Auburn 247 board: Quote As most of you know James Owens was the first African American football player to play for Auburn University. James lost his battle with numerous illnesses just over a year ago on March 26th of last year. Do to his extended illness and inability to work the last 6 years of his life, Gloria, James' wife of 42 years has been left to face extensive medical bills and debt that accumulated over the length of James's illness. A group of James's teammates have established a gofundme page, link below, to help Gloria in her time of need. Any and all considerations are greatly appreciated. https://www.gofundme.com/james-owens-family-fund If you have any questions please contact me at jp.simmons@yahoo.com Thanks!
