The olinger family,
You guys did so much for me for the many years I worked at Oley's and you guys have been so warm and inviting since I left for school. Everytime I talk to mom I ask her how Oley's is going. I thank you for employing both me and my mom, and you guys were like a second family to me. Since I have moved not one day had passed that I didn't wish I was still at home working at Oley's. That was my first place of employment and will always be my favorite. Hopefully, in the next few years I will again be able to offer my assistance to Oley's. I am always here for you guys like you guys were there for me. Gail and I have your entire family in our thoughts and prayers.

Very sorry to hear of your loss.
Steve was like an older brother to me. He and I spent many hours, talking about "Harvester" and "pizza". Those were some good years. He'll be missed by many. Larry & Becky
