My deepest condolences go out to the Oeler family. My prayers are with you all at this time. I grew up knowing most of you because I was the paper girl, when the Daily News was still delivered to houses in Duquesne. Your parents were always kind to me.

Love our days up in the cabin and the days of buck hunting in Titusville. He was one of the greatest men I knew God speed Tom. And my love and sympathy to the whole Oeler family.LoveChris DeRose

It was so nice to see Mr. & Mrs. Oeler last year at the church fish fry. How wonderful that they had each other for so many years. Your parents were to be able to know their children and grandchildren and great-grandchildren - that's a great life. And how fortunate you all were to have him around so long. Hope he catches up with my Dad in heaven and they have some laughs about the good times growing up together like they did back then. Your Dad was a great guy. I cry for his passing too. My sympathies to you all.
