I think of Ollie often, every time I see a baseball game, I'm reminded of him. I am still sad knowing he passed away quite early. I had worked with him at Straub and always enjoyed being able to chat with him and liked get to work with him occasionally. I send his family my condolences and hope the Lord has given you a peace to help deal with your loss. Blessings to you! Michael Curtiss

Sandra and family...
I am sorry to hear of Ollie's passing.
I remember first meeting Sandra and Ollie back in the day they were starting a Christian shirt business.(I might still have one of those shirts:)
Both so friendly and nice!
May God keep you as you go through this difficult time. Praying for your comfort as you know..to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord.

So sorry to hear about the passing of Ollie. I worked with Ollie for about 15 years at Straub Dist. He was fun to work with and had great stories, and a better golf swing. Rest in peace Ollie.

SO VERY SAD...just heard this news today on the Padres pre-game radio show, I was shocked to hear of Ollie's death at such an early age and sad for his entire family. I worked with Ollie at Straub Dist. years ago and always enjoyed Ollie as a co-worker! I really wish I had gotten to know him even better outside of work. RIP Ollie and May the Lord Jesus bless you in your journey. See you in heaven my friend!

I am sorry for your loss. May your hearts be filled with loving memories you shared and may you find comfort in God's promise at John 6:40.

So sorry to hear of the loss of Ollie. We visited a couple of years ago at a Long Beach Poly baseball function. I played with Ollie at Poly in 1960 and 1961 and he certainly was a success in his profession and this is a tragic loss to all family members. Also played with Willie and Oscar and give them my condolences also.
