Just received word that retired pressroom first colorman at the Los Angeles Times for many years, Owen Brennan III, passed away last night.



Affectionately known as "Sarge" by his pressroom colleagues, he will be missed by everyone he touched.


Our condolences go out to his son Owen Brennan Jr., former Los Angeles Times pressroom supervisor.


From Owen Jr.: "Dad died at 10:07pm last night followed by my Mom at 11:55pm. We're sad that they're gone, but happy that they're not hurting anymore. I don't know what the other would have done without the other if one had survived the other."
