We are very sorry to hear about Oley passing. I can remember shopping at his store in Glasgow when I was a young child. It was one of the only places to shop in Glasgow and I know he worked long and hard to keep his business going for so many years. We will always remember Oley.

Wayne, Linda & Family, Tommy and Family. So sorry to hear of Oley's passing. I would go to see him when I would visit Grandma Shiflett at the nursing home. I helped him put on his slippers one time as he was having a hard time. He just smiled and said thanks. He usually didn't know who I was, I would tell him I was Mary Alice's daughter, he would smile and say "oh yea". I know you will miss him, just know that he is in a far better place and is now in no pain, just smiling down. Will keep you all in our thoughts and prayers.

With Heartfelt Sympathy, Susie (Spangler) and Kenny Higgins
