Dear Pipka, It is a shame we lose touch with relatives. My only fond memory of my Uncle Ollie was at my father's funeral. He took my arm on the way out of the funeral, helped me down steps and comforted me with his arm around my shoulder. It was well over 40 years ago but meant a great deal to me and I always treasured his kindness. I'm truly sorry for your loss and our prayers are with you all.
