To Olin age 57, I was watching college football today when they said Olin Branstetter died. My heart sank. Then I found out is was your father. My heart was lifted a little but I realized how hard it must be for you and your family. My deepest thought are with you. Dave Reynolds Class of 72

Olin and Paula were wonderful people and will be sorely missed. They were exceptionally generous and inspirational to our nursing students with their gifts of scholarships and Bibles for many years. Our prayers are with you.

Paul, Jack, Henry and families.Olin was the oldest of the 22 Richard cousins and I was no. 12.He was a great mentor and he and Dusty's life exemplified how we all should live. Olin had a grand sense of humor and a wonderful memory. Dusty encouraged him to share his memories of how things were in his growing up years and we all loved to hear those stories about our parents and family. Your parents will certainly be missed by all whose life they touched. Patty and jerry krier ( my parents were Pat and Dolly Richard )

Henry,
I have great memories of your family's home. Your parents were always welcoming. I will never forget the cake your Mom baked and decorated for my 18th birthday. I am so glad that I had seen her recently. I'm sad you lost both parents at once, but glad that they never suffered losing each other and that they left this life, doing what they loved together. Much love to you and your family.

Paul, Truley and Paris; Our prayers go out to you and other family members at the loss of your parents and grand-parents. I met Mr. and Mrs. Branstetter on several occasions when they would come to Davis to watch the girls in school and church activities. You could tell they were quality people. We need more people like them. However, God saw it was time for Him to enjoy their company in Heaven. We will continue to pray for you and be here to help you in the coming days.

I have many fond memories of serving with Olin in the Oklahoma State Senate. He was proud of his association with the Gideons. His faith was strong. He was proud that Dusty was such a great pilot and he loved to fly. He had a quick smile and a cheerful spirit. He was kind. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers. Blessings to you.

Although I moved away from Oklahoma many years ago, I will never forget the kindness of both of your parents - especially when I lost my father in 1976 when your dad was a pallbearer and when I lost my mom in 2008, again your father was a pall-bearer and both of your parents were so supportive. They will be missed. Sarah (Gay) Wilton
