Mr. Ohl was a great man and a gentle sole. He was so good to me and my brothers and sisters. When we lived up on Bradley Hill rd. I remember him giving us rides back home nights after we would sneak out to go up to his house to play with his kids. He even took the time to come see my mom when she was dieing of cancer. I will miss him and so glad he crossed my life's path. Beverly Beckwith Button
