RICHARD LAWRENCE OCHELTREE

The Ocheltrees were so much a part of my growing up that it's hard to think of Loraine Avenue and Springfield, Illinois without thinking of them. First we were neighbors and then my parents and Cham and Helen became good friends. Over the years we shared Christmas dinners, alternating one year at the Ocheltrees, the next at the Crumps. I remember taking off after one of these occasions and riding on a sled with Rich, slipping and sliding, towed behind a car on Chatham Rd. That certainly...

We would like to convey our sympathies for the loss of a fellow comrade.
