Ollie, you were an inspiration and one of the most engaging people I ever met. Your love of life was contagious and I think you enjoyed every minute. You were a great storyteller and a friend to all. Your wonderful personality was a gift that you gave to all of us and we, in the NFLCC, will miss you and always remember.

Please accept my deepest sympathies. I will remember Ollie forever as one of great guys who helped me with my collecting old fishing tackle. We had many wonderful conversations about old tackle, and many stories of fishing and catching the big ones. Sure will miss him. Larry Moellman Cole Camp, Mo
