Ole would bring cookies to the St Michael Post Office. He would sit on the bench and visit with everyone. He was a kind hearted person and he always brightened my day.

Ole had a great sense of humor and was fun to be around, something that is missing in today's world. He worked with my dad at the state highway department for many years. My dad had nothing but praise for his hard work. Ole had a heart of gold and would give his only shirt if someone else needed it. God Bless you Ole Olson.
