Not sure what to say?

W. E. (he said to call him Wimp) Ollison was my brother-in-law. He always treated me with respect and kindness. He had a good sense of humor and was fun to be around. He was, what in my experience is all too rare, a decent human being. The world was a better place with him in it. Although we haven’t been close for several years, due at least in part, to living a considerable distance apart, I will miss him.
