Dear Beth and family,

We were so sorry to hear of Oville's death. He is surely missed. He was such a good guy, talented, generous and fun-loving. He was instrumental in obtaining my husband Richard's long-time employment as an electrician, mainly with Brady Electic Company. We are in his debt.

Rich and I recall the many good times we shared with Orv and Beth and the family. Please accept our deepest sympathy. How wonderful for you to have had such a exemplary husband and father.

Blessing,

Evonne Levan

My deepest sympathy for your loss. I am very sorry I was not able to attend the funeral mass. My memories of "Uncle Richie" as my Godfather will always be special to me. I will always remember his laugh.
