The Memorial Golf Outing held on September 30, 2014 at the Shackamaxon Country Club in Scotch Plains drew 120 golfers with over 160 people attending the post-golf banquet. More importantly, the charity event brought over $21,000 in Damien Owens’ memory to the benefit of Cranford Family Care, a non-profit organization helping needy families of Cranford. “We originally figured we could get maybe 50 to 60 golfers and raise $5,000 on the high side for our cause but our numbers exceeded even our wildest dreams.” Damien Owens, a native of Inchicore, Dublin, Ireland was the much loved manager-greeter for the last 6 years at the Kilkenny House until his sudden death from an illness this past May. “He was just a lovely man, always greeting us with a smile and a warm handshake. A true gentleman,” a patron said of Owens. The memorial was the brainchild of O’Donovan, proprietor of the Kilkenny House Restaurant and Pub in Cranford. “When we started the pub some six years ago, Damien my best friend, was right there with me all the way.

He’s a grandfather and a retired mechanical engineer, he has had a long history and success in inventing that has led to the Peri-Gum product. After serving in World War II with the U.S. Navy, Lesky studied mechanical engineering at the University of Missouri. Soon after, Lesky returned to New Jersey and has had a history of successful career projects, including designing the world’s largest fermentor for Merck, which was used to make Vitamin 12, as well as helping to invent and patent material to tune television sets with RCA in Somerville in 1961. In 1997, Lesky’s son, Jim, was diagnosed with severe periodontal disease at the age of 31. After hearing that the peridontist was insisting on surgery to remove his teeth, Jim and his father were inspired to come up with their own natural remedy. Combining his professional experience as an inventor and engineer, and his passion for natural remedies, Lesky designed Peri-Gum out of 7 herbal extracts and essential oils in the hopes of alleviating his son’s oral health problems and staving off an expensive and invasive surgery.
