Not sure what to say?

I'm not sure, but I believe this may be a good friend of mine from times way in the past. If this Ole was in the US Air Force and stationed at Kincheloe AFB in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, before being sent to Vietnam in 1967, then, sad to say, I have the right man. We were roommates there, at his invitation, and had lots of good times together talking sports, current events, anything at all. He was one of the nicest guys I ever knew and was a most trusted friend. I see that he died over a ten years ago, but I just found the obituary today. My deepest sympathies to all his family. He was a good man.

Ole was truly a family man. Our family (Manuel and Lucy Ybarra) were privileged to have known Ole as our compadre but also a beloved dear friend. Ole visited us at our home in TEXAS and left here having made new friends. Ole loved to talk to old or young (friends or strangers).He will truly be missed. Rest In Peace .Our love and blessings to The Campos family. And to our daughter in law (Estelle Ybarra ) we love you and are truly blessed to have you in our family. God Bless.
