John Olin and I started to school and finished high school together. He and Jean, both, and I had remained friends for so many years. I was very saddened to hear of his death today. I am in Raleigh, North Carolina, with my son and family and will not be able to attend the services. Just know I am thinking of you, their families, and will be praying for all of you. God bless you all. Mary Helen Hale

So sorry to hear about your father. He was a good man. He bought me my first pair of dress shoes after college. Hope you and your family can remember the good times and find peace. God bless you.
