Mozart Street Olsens:
I just learned of the passing of your father. I am very saddened by this as I recently lost my father as well. I recall your father as a great man who took the time to teach and explain things to the kids in the neighborhood. I recall him as a many who was happy and loved his family. I recall many happy times that he spent in our backyard or at Sullivans.
I have one vivid memory of him teaching me a hidden baseball trick at my expense.
I was out of town on vacation at the time of his passing and I am so sorry that I could not be there.
Best regards to all of you.

Dear Nancy, Bill, Tom and Mary
Take solace in the fact of your Father's longevity as he took pride in the life of his remarkable family. I have asked the Monks of the Abbey of Gethsemani to remember him in their Mass. Suya and I will remember you and your Father and Father in law our offerings.
