My prayers continue to be with Olen's family. He was a joy to be around. Darlington will never be the same without him there with us. And I don't know who I will pick on and vice versa during the races. I always knew if Jimmy or Jeff won that race that he would be scoping me out Monday morning!! He will be and is already terrible missed by me and my husband George. God Bless you all!!

To God be the Glory. What a wonderful blessing it was to know Olen. He always remained positive about his illness. You would ask him how he was doing and he would be brief but very direct about his health, then on to the next subject. He was so happy to be a GrandDad. He loved him family.

Find peace and comfort in your memories of Olen.

October 15, 2013

Paula and family--I am heartsick to learn of the passing of Olen. Olen always had a smile on his face, and would stop to talk when we passed in the hallways. He was so proud of his children and grandchildren. His presence here will be sorely missed. Keeping you and family in my prayers.
What a special person he was!
