Mr. Ole, rest peacefully sir. Job 14:14 & 15
Keeping you're family in our prayers. Ole will be missed for sure by many and certain he is celebrating in heaven with a host of friends and family.
Ole became my cousin on June 21, 1969 when he married Nancy. He was always a good man, and he, like a truly fine wine, only got better with age. Ole, as Vince Gill said, "go to Heaven a-shoutin' love for the Father and the Son" because your work on Earth is done. Love to you, my cousin. God's grace and peace be granted to those of us who remain behind. We'll see you later. Beth Moore
Very sorry to learn of Ole' passing. I remember Ole from Belleve School, as a Vashti area neighbor in earlier days. In more recent times I remember our conversations when I could stop by during my visits to Vashti. Also, he was gracious to sell me the two-acre acre lot of 392 LR as the Tuck Family Retreat. Nancy and Family, I know Ole is now resting in peace in Heaven with God and Christ as his Saviour. Comer Tuck, jr.
