Peter J. Olsta

I´m Pat Crawford wife of Jim Crawford. Jim passed 3 years ago. Pete´s name was a constant in our home as Jim would recollect the good times they would have with the other OPi brothers. I´m very sorry for your loss. Jim always loved the guy.

Pete and Carol were our neighbors for many years on Westview Dr in Ghent when the girls were growing up. They were wonderful neighbors- very friendly and helpful. May he rest in peace.

Pete was a great person who I really enjoyed working with over the years. He will be missed!

Pete and I boarded a train in Germany with all our luggage. The train was packed. I told Pete if he stayed with the luggage I'd walk back through the cars looking for some seats. Pete said "take my leather jacket and put it on the seats if you find some." About five cars back I found seats and laid the jacket across them. When Pete and I returned we found two guys in the seats and the jacket in the overhead bin. With a flourish I snatched the jacket out of the bin while glaring at the guys. One of them jumped up and tried to take the jacket from me. While we were engaged in a tug of war I hear Pete behind me saying "that's not my jacket." Well, one more car back we found his jacket still on the seats and we laughed like hell all the way to Heidelberg.

Peter was a wonderful friend to all of us in Voorheesville, NY where he lived with Carol and his daughters for a few years. He always had great stories to tell when we would have dinners together. We will miss him greatly but it's nice to think of him and Carol having a great reunion in heaven!

I am sorry to hear of your loss of this wonderful man.
Although, I didn't know Peter Olsta personally Bob Rulli told me many wonderful stories of him.
May the wonderful memories sustain all of you for your loss.
I'm sure he's in heaven watch over all of you.
Sincerely
Sharon Stone Mazurek
