An inspiration to me as a young Uniroyal Tire salesman. My thoughts of Olin over the years have been many. A copy of his Salesman Ship has forever hung behind my desks. My condolence to the Family.

Cody:
So sorry to hear about your great grandfather. My heart goes out to you. He was truly a man of inspiration, admiration and respect for many. He was a thoughtful and generous man that lived by what he taught others. His legacy will live on, especially for Mark who has learned so much from Grandpa Olin about working hard to achieve your goals. He got to meet people that educated his life. I want to thank you for being Marks good friend, and for sharing Grandpa Olin with him for the knowledge and friendship. You both have been there for each other in good times and bad. You can be very proud of your great grandfather. Continue to strive, to keep his legacy going. He loved you and was proud of your accomplishments. I had a lot of respect for him, for his support, patience and teaching he gave to Mark. He was a Fairy God father to Mark and I will forever be grateful. I have the Yankee Baseball displayed that he had autographed for me and will remember him everytime I look at it. Take care of yourself, stay strong. Remember you can call anytime.

I first met Mr. Mott in 1995 he was a fair man who had such a caring heart and lived to please others. I grew to know him for a few years and then we parted ways but when we saw each other It was like time had never passed. He was kind and so very Friendly that you could not want to like him. He will be missed by many but he lives on in the memories of all of us.

We will miss him so very much. Over the years I have come to know Mr Mott as an employer, neighbor, mentor, and friend. I have never known someone who was so driven to any task he set his mind to. His generosity, caring, and devotion to his family and to this community was unmatched. All the lives he has touched and all the dreams he has helped come true is the true legacy he leaves behind. Rest in peace Mr Mott. We love you and miss you so much. I raise a cup of your " Finest Styro China " to you sir.

To the Mott family, So sad to hear the news of Mr. Mott's passing. It seems like I've always known him, visiting his office at the Hillsborough location on occasion, first with my dad, Bart, and later on my own. He was one of the most generous people I've ever known, giving to those around him and to those in need that he never even knew. I have a couple of mementos he gave me through the years that are very special to me. I have talked to my Mom, Vivian, this morning, she is visiting Illinois this time of year. She sends her condolences to Doris and the family.

Olin was one the very best people I have ever known. We have been best friends for 50 years. Olin was like a 2nd Father to me and my wife Florence. Even though Olin was 92 it is still a shock as he was part of my family. I shall miss Olin very much! Both Florence & I loved Olin. God bless Olin & the Mott family. Florence and Mike G Rutherford
