We are sadden to learn of OJ´s passing. OJ took care of all our appliance repairs for over 14 years. He was the kindest man . One time he worked on our dishwasher and would not charge us. He said, " no charge I learned something today." I just saw him recently. He came in petted our dog and gave him a biscuit then looked at the appliance all in his kind gentle manner. May your memories of him sustain you at this sad time. Karen and Fred
