Mrs. Olander, Dina and Alivia,
So sorry for your loss. I´ll never forget how friendly and forward Mr. Olander was. Loved that he was so direct and interested in anything we were doing. I never could beat him at a game of Croquet. Peace be with you all. May your heart be flooded with memories to fill this void. Love and miss you ladies.
Peace,
Alyson (Forney)

I was so saddened to hear that Bob had passed. What a lovely man and fellow member of the credit union supervisory committee. He was so determined to be here as long as he could. Deepest condolences to his dear wife and family.
