Not sure what to say?

Every time I go to the ballpark I think of coach.

As I start preparing for baseball season, and setting up training for the new umpires coming in to the service of the game for the first time. I think of Jon a lot. Who will we send the rookie umpires too to be taught respect for the game and how to carry themselves to teach that respect to the young players. Jon was always my example and role model. Jon you are gravely missed.

jon was by far one of the best people i have ever met! every time i was injured he would always suprise me with brusters! he would also bring evie over for suprise visits because he knew i loved her so much and wish i could have a dog like her! i will never forget the times i went golfing with my dad and him. it was so funny to watch him hit it repeatedly in the water and then throw his club. i will also mever forget all the balls he would try to scoup up from the water hazard! jon, i will...

I worked wih Jon at Masterbrand Cabinets. He was such a kind man; always a gentleman, always at his best. And he absolutely LOVED being a grandfather! I am praying for your family. Jon will truly be missed.

We will miss seeing Jon at Auburn baseball games. He and Tracy were so welcoming when we joined the season ticket holders in their section. Charlie always enjoyed visiting with Jon at the practices, too. Prayers for Jon's family.

Coach Oleinick was a wonderful person and he made such a difference in the lives of the young players he coached. He modeled the values he expected of his players and kept up with them throughout their lives, their families as well. He was a genuinely good person. We will be praying for Tracy and their family.

The Walley family will certainly miss this coach/mentor. He has poured into many young 9/10 baseball players, but he has continued to pour into our son's life since that time. We are so thankful for all of life lessons that Coach O. shared with Todd. We will forever remember and be grateful to Coach O. We are praying for Tracy and her family during this time of loss.

I am so sorry for your loss. Prayers are with you!

Auburn lost a great one.
